The Oremus page is down today- it can not be reached. I am down today, too. This is our 11th day feeling miserable. Both my wife and I have very bad head and chest colds. I do not feel up to singing and praising the Lord this morning. Actually, with our sore throats we can not. I just want to go back to bed. Ever have a day like this? Sure you have. And there’s the lesson. We don’t have to always be up and atem for the Lord. The Lord knows when we are sidelined. He is still ok. He is still here whether we “feel” His presence or not. He is still in control.
We walk by faith, not by feelings anyway. Right? On these days, we just need to let go and rest in His keeping, while He does His thing. Sometimes, that is the reason He allows us to be down, so we have to look up.
