Head spin

Note to self: don't even try to have Bible readings when you're sick!

I sat down this morning, on my second day of recovery after a night in emergency with a vomiting bug, ready set to have my quiet time. Turned aimlessly to Zechariah and started a head-spinning read about Zerubbabel, Joshua the high priest, women in baskets and fast horses.... what????

Words were floating all over the page so I finished up with a quick "God-help-me-today-I'm-going-to-need-it" type prayer. As it turns out, I did, and he did.

Try Psalm 117. Or better yet, one of those lamenting ones. You know, the kind that just make you go, 'Yeah, I know where he's coming from'. :)

You poor thing! Hope you feel better soon. I'd stay away from Jonah too...

I'm sure there'll be a next time so I'll leave the psalm idea for then!
