As I wrote this title, I actually had two thoughts in mind. The first thought was actually for “head massage.” It has been a stressful two weeks and my brain is completely saturated with new knowledge. I am brain weary. I needed to massage my head. My husband happily acquiesced. As he is rubbing my head, I feel the stress bubble release. My sole focus is on enjoying this massage.
My second thought, which led to the title, “Head Message,” is that while I am weary and the massage helped, what I really need to is hear God’s Word. To be encouraged, uplifted. To change my thought focus from self and stress back to God and His promises. My devotions this morning have been on worship. Expressing my love for my Creator and Redeemer with shouts of joy and moments of quiet praise. Even in these busy days Lord, let me continually praise Your name, for You alone are worthy. I pray for strength that as I serve others, I am compassionate, patient, gentle, forgiving, graceful. Just as You have shown me your love, grace, kindness, patience, gentleness.
Colossians 3:12-14: “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.”
