Friday
Psalm 9.1 “I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart. I will tell of all your wonders.”
This is more, much more, than the power of positive thinking. These are the words of someone who has nurtured a sense of wonder, who knows that gratitude is a source of energy, who has learned to see and pay attention to what’s going on around them, and has come to see God at work in the ordinary and everyday routines. Yes there are tough experiences, times we need a secure foothold. But most of the time life is as it is, we are part of it, we love and are loved, we are blessed and we bless.
Years ago someone regularly phoned our house and often began the conversation with “What a day I’ve had!” followed by a long litany of complaints. That opening line could have a different tone: “What a day I’ve had! Let me tell you of all God’s wonders!”
