"In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly."
Isaiah 15:3
This doesn't sound like a good day. I was thinking though... just like the cloud of darkness or the storm or the dark and dreary waste that all come when we are trying to seek God... God warns us that there are bad days to come. That even though we are trying to stay on the path, storms and darkness are going to beset us and we have to hold on to the iron rod to make it through.
God also promises us that after all the bad days will come a glorious happy eternity though, and that is the goal that we should have our minds set on... the whole "Think Celestial" idea is about that happy eternity that comes after we weather the storms and the trials... and even though it is absolutely not fun in the moment... it is heartbreaking and desolate to go through the sackcloth and weeping stages... those things, if we use them to motivate ourselves and stick close to God... they can help us learn and help us become the better, Celestial people that we have the potential to be.
Today, let's work on learning from the bad days and trusting in God for the good eternity to come. :)
