Reading from Psalms 77. The picture of someone who is crying out to God. The change comes in the second part when the psalmist remembers the goodness and the greatness of God, despite their circumstance. I don't know anyone in their spiritual journey who hasn't had a moment where they felt like God was far where they felt like they were in a deep pit waiting to be rescued. I know that's been true in my life when I'm so focused on the things that are going wrong around me, my perception of how it should be is not the reality I'm experiencing, I will become obsessed almost by my perception of the injustice or whatever it is. What happened to the good old days? But when we're in that place, it's not that the good old days are long gone it\u2019s that I need to change my perspective back to the goodness of God. God renews our minds and changes our thoughts. God\u2019s Goodness and might are bigger than any problem or situation you may be in. God is literally at work in your life and my life, drawing us to himself, bringing all these things back to remembrance in our minds so that we have an opportunity to change our perspective from whatever it is we're caught up on, back to the goodness of God. John chapter 16 verse 33 Jesus continues to encourage his disciples; I have told you all this so that you will have peace in me here on earth. You will have many trials and sorrows but take heart because I have overcome the world. Romans 12:2 says, don't copy the behavior and customs of this world. But let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think, then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. When we change the way we think through the Spirit of God, then we can see His good and pleasing and perfect will for our lives.
