tired

For a youth pastor, the summer season can be a busy one. When it gets busier than expected or when the unexpected appears so much that it's arrival becomes normal, it's understandably tiring. Many things have happened since school let out and now the summer is nearing it's end. I'm almost so tired of this summer that the new school year could come as a relief; my family might even agree. But this is my declaration that God will be praised when the unexpected is tiring me out. I can still see the good things He has done, I can even see some good things that He is doing, and, perhaps, I can see the good things that could develop from the unexpected things. I've read the psalms enough times to know that David  declared the goodness of God even when he was swamped by the unexpected. So in the spirit of a brother who lived long ago I declare that God was good, is good, and will be good whenever and wherever the unexpected appears. Help me trust and praise you Heavenly Father, for you are worthy to be praised and trusted.
