Yesterday...And the best Psychologist

Yesterday was one of those rare days where no matter how you go about doing things, mentally it just couldn't cut it. I was not sharp enough, I was not fast enough and depression starts to creep in. 'Weird' couldn't explain it.

So today, I decide to proclaim the good forecast for my life. I am in the Lord's favour. I shall be favoured by those I met today. I shall be filled with joy, not of this world but of the Lord's and I shall conquer all the nonsense that the Lord has disdained for.

Still what happened was when preparing my cuppa for the day, the worries about money and supply, of my usefulness in this world and my concerns (yes, concerned mean worry) that all that I did is just so repetitive (housework, working, projects) and has no meaning at all.

Lo and behold, Pastor Prince daily devotional also greeted me with this title "Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled". I always say there's no such thing as luck and certainly no such thing as coincidence.

Jesus said and still saying to us "Shalom I leave with you, My Shalom I give to you...Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid".

Shalom is a very very inclusive word. It encompassed all the good things that a man would ever need to feel contented. Imagine having not just any shalom, but the shalom of God. With that kind of Shalom, even the darkest and the most depressed will be joyful.

In the end, the problem lies in the realisation, or the lack of, the God's Shalom peace is already at hand. I shall even say, it is here in me. Just that I did not turn to it when I have the chance and in the end my heart get troubled.

Today and the days and months and years to come, I proclaim the shalom peace will guard my heart from troubles.
