how easy it is to let things slide! Psalm 78 &79

Well i had a shocker of a weekend, so much PMS feeling sooooo grumpy and emotional.

Then on sunday i my car broke down and i broke my phone after having a hissy fit because there was no reception! Serves me right i suppose!

So monday, grump grump grump, very bad weather and i could barely drag myself out of the house to get the phone fixed ($85) and go to the gym and pilates. The car was just a battery and they replaced it on sunday night ($149). Its all a bit expensive right before i go on holiday. And i have put on 3 kilos, seriously!!!! i have been working out and trying to eat right, so mon and tues - i just ate, everything! whatever passed my path, i ate it! back on track today.

The winter weather is taking its toll, there were only 2 at Bible study last night ( which was good and max did a big vomit infront of them!) and not many coming to mums group this morning. everyone is sick! I really cant wait to be in Hawaii but i wish i wasnt so big!

Anyhoo when things are annoying its so easy to let time with God go.

Psalm 78
It speaks of Israels sin the face of Gods goodness, they keep forgetting him and his kindness, even though when they cried out to him he always recused them and was gracious to them. People are so forgetful. I am so forgetful! its so easy to be overwhelmed by the negatives of the day to day and forget the marvellous saving work of God. He has rescued us and promised us a future with him.

Vs 7
Then they would put their trust in God
and would not forget his deeds
but would keep his commands.

Psalm 79
GOd has allowed judgement to come on the Israelites and now they cry out to him in the famous "how long o Lord?" line. Asking how long God will allow his wrath to be free on the people. its a question i often ask, how much longer God do we have to deal with the sin and pain of this life? When will Jesus come back? but God has given us life in Christ and there is joy amidst suffering.

vs 9
Help us O God our Saviour
for the Glory of your name
deliver us and forgive our sins
for your names sake.
