Praising God on One of "Those Days"

We were trying to reformat a computer needed for school. Not much was working right.

An hour into the day, a pretty major discipline problem interrupted our homeschooling.

On the way to church, one teenager starting hitting another hard in the back seat.

At service in the evening one teenager was trying to make it look like her knee had a reflex type of tremor. Two others tried to copy her. Another pair had uncontrollable giggles and one of the pair was making faces trying to make others laugh during service. Concentrating on the message and translation was a challenge. Keeping anyone's atttention otherwise was a challenge.

On the way home another fight was very near the surface.

Others got out offended, slamming the door with a tremendous bang.

It was one of "those days."

I was brought up short in the morning when I read a devotional how God could be amazed at man's unbelief in spite of all that God had done for man.

Throughout the rest of the day, I thanked God, that even though it seemed everything was going wrong, He was just as faithful as on a "good" day. We know He is working even when Satan fights or when we could be discouraged about one of those days. We know God is triumphant.
