Today I feel, well, blah. That honestly is the only way to describe my current condition. I am awake, walking, and moving, but I feel off. Not sick, just blah. Ever felt like that? There is nothing wrong; you have a roof over your head, food to eat, and most importantly, God is still on the throne. However, you just don’t feel like yourself, don’t feel like talking, smiling, or even like (dare I say it)—praying. There are days like this, and today is one of those days for me. I’ll be honest: I dislike it. It makes me feel as though I don’t love God enough, don’t trust God enough. It makes me feel messy and yucky, and yeah, blah.

So, what do I do on days like these? I do what I always do: I get up, I tell God good morning, I have breakfast, I do my devotion, and I pray. Being a Christian doesn’t mean I feel happy every day, nor does it mean I feel like a sparkly, happy firecracker of joy every second of every day. Being a Christian means that no matter how I feel, I understand whose I am. That even when I feel like I’m walking with a dark rain cloud of unhappiness following me around, I can still trust that God is who He says He is and that He is doing all He says He will do. You see, being a follower of Christ isn’t about us; it’s about Jesus, and thank God that He never changes.

So, friends, if you’re feeling blah today, it happens. But know that Jesus is still the same, and He always will be.

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).

So what am I thankful for today? A God who remains constant.
