“Then I thought, “To this I will appeal: the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.”
Psalm 77:10
I love this turning point in the psalm. The first 9 verses are all “has God abandoned me, has God failed me, too troubled to speak or sleep, etc.” But then there is a moment of stopping and thinking of all God has done from the beginning of time, of His faithfulness and kindness and mercy and grace and consistency— and the whole vibe and attitude of the writing is changed.
I watched Princess Diaries last night and Lilly’s thing of “I need an attitude adjustment” always sticks with me. And I think the best way to adjust our attitudes is to see something of who God is and what he’s done. It very quickly puts everything back into perspective and gets our attitudes right again.
