It's the middle of March and it's snowing. Light flurries, and it's not sticking, but it's still snow! If you know me, you know that I like the weather to stay consistent with the season. Today it's not. It's cold. As I went through my day, wishing that the weather was warmer, and it was raining instead of snowing, I began to think about my bad attitude. After all, "This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!" Who makes the snow fall? God does! I realized I'm not just complaining about the weather, I'm complaining about the day God has made. He's in charge of the weather so I will rejoice and be glad it!
Here's a hymn that I've had stuck in my head lately, it doesn't exactly go with the theme of this post, but it's inspiring, I think.
Higher Ground
By: Johnson Oatman, Jr.
I'm pressing on the upward way,
New heights I'm gaining every day;
Still praying as I'm onward bound,
"Lord, plant my feet on higher ground"
Chorus:
Lord, lift me up and let me stand
By faith on heaven's tableland;
A higher plane that I have found-
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground
My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Tho' some may dwell where these abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.
I want to live above the world,
Tho' Satan's darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground
I want to scale the utmost height
and catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I'll pray till heav'n I've found,
"Lord, lift me up on to higher ground."
