Soulful Reflection

Have you ever thought about your life? Your goals your ambitions and how your life is like on a bullet train. If you been to Europe you would know what a bullet train would be like. It’s faster than doing 75 miles in a car on an open highway.
Reflection is good. Not the reflection in a mirror and you walk away and forget what you look like as the day goes on. After lunch you may have missed that spot of mustard on the corner of your mouth. You have to reflect again as you go to the bathroom and look at your appearance before your meeting with your boss or important client.
Sometimes you have to have a soulful reflection. What is the mirror in a soulful reflection? Don’t bail on me yet when I say Christ. Here is why. Remember a country music song that hit the charts for several months called One Day At A Time?

I'm only human, I'm just a woman.
Help me believe in what I could be
And all that I am.
Show me the stairway, I have to climb.
Lord for my sake, teach me to take
One day at a time.

Chorus:
One day at a time sweet Jesus
That's all I'm asking from you.
Just give me the strength
To do everyday what I have to do.
Yesterday's gone sweet Jesus
And tomorrow may never be mine.
Lord help me today, show me the way
One day at a time.

Do you remember, when you walked among men?
Well Jesus you know if you're looking below
It's worse now, than then.
Cheating and stealing, violence and crime
So for my sake, teach me to take
One day at a time.

She couldn’t figure out why she had so many problems in her life. She had wealth, friends and good health. Yet, her soul was not at peace, until she reflected. A minister once told her to thank God for her problems and this is how the song came into existence. She left God. Got glory to fame. Fell into alcoholism. Came back to God. She has written over three hundred songs.
Moral of this: Each day we are challenged with challenges. Some are like the mustard stain on the corner of our mouth. We have to take time to reflect where we are and understand God will never leave us, but will provide that peace in His presence of our life. One day at a time and soulful reflection.
