Philippians 4:8 (NKJV) 8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
Did you ever have a day where you woke up feeling irritable before you even got out of bed?
Your whole being is moody, and there actually isn’t any reason why we feel like this. It just is.
Sometimes it fixes itself. But other times it takes all day, and by night time we are exhausted from trying to work through it and keep it from causing us to say or do something we will regret.
What is it? It’s our flesh.
The flesh has a way of making itself heard, known, and getting what it wants. It is a fight at times to keep it in check, to keep it in line. It takes a lot of work some days.
The next time you are having a day like this, remember the flesh likes to have its way. Don’t give in to it. Let God help you keep it in check.
We all go through it. No one is exempt.
Those days I just want to climb back into bed, go to sleep, and wake up with a different attitude. That would be easier.
But instead, we just need to push through, no matter how we feel, and look for the best in everything going on around us and meditate on those good things.
