i don't feel like slaying any giants

Even though I went to bed early last night, I still woke up feeling really tired.  Sluggish.  Moving very slowly....

I began my daily reading with 1 Samuel 17, the story of David and Goliath.  Normally, that would really get me going!  But not today.  I am just tired.  I don't feel like slaying any giants.  Not gonna be chasing any lions this morning.

So I moved on to Psalm 9.

(1-2) I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of your wonders.  I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

(9-10)The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.  Those who know your name will trust in you, for  you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.

The first verses in the psalm are almost like a declaration, a decision.  I will be glad in God.  I will be glad in God.  I will be glad in God!!!  And so I sat there, on the sofa, allowing my heart to rejoice in the Lord.  Yes, He is worthy of my praise.  Oh, there are so many wonders to speak of!  He has given me life, answered my prayers, blessed me with the greatest husband and children.  He speaks to me, through His Word and His Holy Spirit!  I know the name of the Lord.  He is Creator, Savior, Redeemer, Stronghold, Shelter, Refuge, Comfort, Strength, Father and Friend.  I do trust in the Lord, and He has never, and will never forsake me.

hmmmm.....  Are there any giants around that need to be slain?
