But you are a shield around me, O LORD; you bestow glory on me and lift up my head. (Psalm 3:3, NIV)
In other questions of abhorrent stupidity, I also have to prepare soon to make-up for an SAT test soon, for the first time, and another work. I also feel frustrations in Music class, and I’m having the common cold. It is NOT a great way to start winter! Be it that I still must face stupid decisions for my many sins, or just that I’m depressed for my own shortcomings in life, God is so gracious to let me repent and start over.
Letting go is the hard part, looking up and answering my call as part of the Redeemed of Christ. It is many a day where I still look heads-down when I walk. Maybe it’s still time for me to learn. It’s also hard to appear with a straight-up countenance of happy when you’re bogged down to death (sometimes literally), but God still shows His love to us. He still lifts us up in grace, He still takes down all of our sins and troubles, and He will throw it to the sea. (How much I need encouragement!) He still roots for us in Heaven, and in the deeper of our hearts.
