You know those days where it feels like you haven't gotten anything done? Yeah, today was one of those days. I worked this morning, then spent two hours on a job application which took a chunk out of the day, then took a nap which took another chunk out. By the time I ran to the store it was time to start dinner and now here I am.
Overall, April has been a little hard. For one thing, it feels like I've just been running for weeks and weeks. There have also been a lot of little things going on, which individually are not that hard to handle, but when piled on top of each other the small sadnesses and tough situations suddenly become a lot harder to handle. It just seems like there's a lot to deal with right now.
At our small group last night we talked about magnifying God, and someone brought up the point that when we magnify something, not only does that individual thing get bigger, but everything else around it disappears because our focus is narrowed. The same is true when we magnify God. When we focus on God and on His character, His working, His love, everything else suddenly becomes insignificant. It's still there, but it just doesn't seem that important. I need to do that more, because the little things are too much in focus right now.
May you find joy in magnifying God.
