Discombobulated…. (devo reflection)

Genesis 10:6 The sons of Ham: Cush, Egypt, Put and Canaan.

This morning I am feeling a bit discombobulated. I woke up 20 minutes late (still not quite sure how that happened), and I’ve been struggling to metaphorically get my feet under me from the jump. However, once I finally stumbled to the door to let the dog out, I realized that it snowed. This is major news as I am not sure the last time I saw snow in my town.

Genesis 10:7 The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah and Sabteka. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. 

Because it snowed, we are on a two-hour delay at school, which means that even though I started today 20 minutes late, I won’t be late to work. Now, I don’t think God made it snow so that I wouldn’t be late to school since I was late waking up, but isn’t it cool the way that things just worked out?

Genesis 10:8 Cush was the father of Nimrod, who became a mighty warrior on the earth.

Precious Savior, You know I stress and fret about so many things–like what happened that I overslept by 20 minutes this morning. Thank You that even though this day started off a little rocky, You reminded me of Your presence, Your goodness, Your glory. Thanks for the reminder, and thanks for the snow. It’s beautiful. Help me be mindful of Your mercy as I go through this day. Amen.

Genesis 10:9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; that is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.” 

Have a blessed day.
