Today

Today, like Paul,
I was content in all situations.
Today was a good day.

But, I do not know what tomorrow holds…
Will I be content in it?

Clearly, God, I’ve missed Paul’s point.
I know I have.
Clearly I’ve missed a lot.

But, this is one thinkg that I know…
Today, in Your creation,
I had no need for lament!
So, in my comfort I will praise You!

Today my family was safe
And my stomach was full.
So in my comfort I will thank You!

I’ve grown confident enough
To yell at You in the storm…
So, how dare I forget
To exalt You in the garden!

Today I am grateful
And hopeful
That my contentment will weather
All that is to come.

I thank You!
I praise You!
I Trust in Your holy name!

Amen.
