Oh my goodness, what a day. Boring and dragging. Work is fine, the tasks that I am completing are not boring or irritating or anything. But I'm bored. Music and podcasts are not satisfying. It's Friday and payday. You would think I would be in a great mood. But I'm not.
Unfortunately, I did not get into the Word of God today. Hubby and I had a really late night last night and I decided to sleep in a bit which took away my time in my Bible and my housework time. I decided I would be so tired that I wouldn't take anything in while reading my Bible anyway, so extra sleep was a better idea. So I slept for an hour and then got ready for work. It's been a struggle all morning. The first chunk of the day dragged on terribly.
Then, when I had a minute, I decided to journal my thoughts on my notepad on my phone.
Holy Spirit reminded me of a podcast that I listened to a while ago and one of the hosts mentioned that the days when she doesn't get into her Bible in the morning, her day is off. I then remembered that I skipped my Bible reading time this morning too. I opened up my Bible app and listened to the book of Daniel. Instantly the icky feeling of boredom and everything else that I couldn't quite put my finger on were gone. I looked at the clock shortly after and was pleasantly surprised to see a chunk of time had passed getting me that much closer to the end of my work day.
It was 10 am when I looked at the clock, meaning my work day was half done and we were an hour away from lunch. Before I looked at the clock I was feeling hungry and thought, "Oh great, I'm hungry and it's probably two hours from lunch," then I saw the clock and was relieved and excited that it was only an hour away from lunch and that my hunger was reasonable.
The moral of the story is don't skip out on Bible reading time in favour of sleep.
Heck, I didn't put two and two together, but even our few minutes together this morning before hubby brought me to work were rough. We have barely argued or anything recently and this morning I threw a slight hissy fit which resulted in some frustration for both of us.
So, read your Bible. It makes all the difference.
I pray this encourages you today, friend.
God Bless
