yesterday, a day devoted to prayer and fasting, was hard. splitting sinus headache, callouts at work, cranky customers, half-day for the highschoolers, an awful inherited shift, frustrations and irritations on the right and the left.
today, a day with no great spiritual significance, smooth sailing all around.
this afternoon i thought on job 23, amos 9, and ps. 139, and the ever-present presence of the Lord, whether for blessing or cursing. i love the old hymn (and its clever adaption by the mars hillbillies), "i bind unto myself today."
Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in the hearts of all that love me,
Christ be with me this day.
Christ to comfort me.
Christ in quiet.
may my emotions never lead me astray from the sight of the unchanging, merciful Savior.
