The Whole World Is Dumb!

This is something I have said several times in the last week or so!

“The whole world is dumb!”

Now I know the WHOLE world isn’t dumb, but it sure seems it at the moment!
So many crazy things are happening in my world, it is easy to lose perspective and lump everything into the same basket….the basket of dumb!

Lockdowns are dumb.
Family sickness is dumb.
Injuries are dumb.
Restrictions are dumb.
Blatant rule-breakers are dumb.
Division is dumb.

And the list goes on and on!

As I wrote last week (you can read that here if you missed it) it’s easy to take our eyes off the prize, and lose sight of the good things that lay before us.

So to combat my “everything is dumb” mentality, I have been consciously noticing things that arent dumb:

Hallmark Christmas movies (cause sometimes you just need cheesy and predictable!)
Friends who encourage and share uplifting things on social media.
Friends who reach out and check in on you.
Family members who send you funny memes.
Face time with family.
Christmas music!
A husband who watches your wee pity party without judgment, but then helps you snap out of it!
The same husband who sees when you really need fries and a burger and goes to get them for you!

And here is a wee list of things that have never been or will ever be dumb:
Gods Word.
His promises.
God’s unchanging character.
The sacrifice Jesus paid.
Worship Music that lifts me above “dumb” things!
God’s steadfast love.

And so I challenge you, my friend! When the whole world seems “dumb” rise above those feelings and learn to focus on the good things around you. They may be a little hard to see at first, but I promise you, they are there to be found.
