I ask, do you have your own daily bog? At first glance, some might have thought that I meant to say blog; not bog. But...not the case.
My question is whether you have those matters which bog you down day after day? You know, those words, or deeds, or actions that knock the wind out of your sails? Perhaps you set out for a time of anticipated wonder only to encounter a grump or a pessimist or and infraction by those around you...or....your own grumpy, pessimistic, infractionary disposition? Either way, our balloon moments may encounter deflation.
So how do we negotiate a daily bog? Philippians 4:4-9. Oh, I know. You've heard this before. Yes. And you'll need to continue to ponder it for daily bogs require daily mindsets upon all that is going right in our world in order to stay up. Bogglism is always awaiting in the wings to drain your momentum.
Upbeat and forward moving is the stronger option. This never pivots off of how things are going. No, upbeat and forward consistently derives from how we choose to think. Will we sink because of challenges before us? Or, shall we choose to use these very intimidating struggles as stepping stones to an even higher walk? Get behind me, bog!
Today is filled with potential, encouragement, and participatory awe. Enter in. Don't just wish it was so for you. Claim it. Expect it. Live it.
