Day 31 Words of Wisdom

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. Psalm 90:12

Try to find the spots of color even on the gloomiest days. Sometimes they are hidden right there in the middle of the depressing things and we need to search diligently to find them.

I was reminded of this while reading The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom. She said that her sister (Betsy?) was always able to find the good in any situation and seemed always able to thank God for everything even if she didn't know why it was important to do so at the time. For instance, she said that in the room where they were confined there were fleas within the straw of their bedding. Even though all the other women thought she was crazy, Corrie's sister thanked God for them. Later it was discovered that the matrons wouldn't come into the dormitory because of those fleas so the ladies were able to have Bible studies without harrassment. Extreme example? Yes! In comparison, what in the world do I have to complain about?
