TELL YOUR SOUL TO BE HAPPY

"Why are you down, O my soul? Why are you disturbing me? Wait on God, for I will yet praise Him, my help and my God "Psalm 42:11

At some point in life, the psalmist begins to talk to himself. He is disturbed, depressed, saddened, being attacked. Then he realizes he has his emotions down. Your emotions are down, causing you to stay in a state that only makes things worse. At this point, he decides to analyze the sides. On the one hand, the attacks that sadden him. On the other side, he has GOD, who is for him, whom he can trust. It is at this moment that the conversation with yourself is so important.

He says to his emotions: "Why are you down, my soul? Why are you sad? Stop now! Trust in god. Trust, for surely I will see His action that saves me, and I will still praise Him for the victory in the face of this situation. My soul, stop grieving and trust in GOD! " So I learn that in many moments I have to force myself to trust in God. I have to command and compel my emotions to follow my faith and trust in GOD. After all, GOD is Faithful, and I know HE is for me. The end is not according to my emotions, but according to the fidelity of GOD!
