Giddy

The Lord’s instruction is right; it makes our hearts glad. ~ Psalm 19:8 (CEV)

Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. ~ Colossians 3:16 (NLT)

Lord, your message about Christ changes everything. As your words of wisdom fill my life, they bubble up and make me giddy with delight -- even as they wash away the dirt and stains. It feels strange that something as painful as change also makes me glad. But that's what your wise instruction does. Help me to share your wisdom today, so that others will also be able to move forward with glad hearts. Amen.

Challenging Word

  • Giddy -- When you are giddy you are so happy that you can't contain yourself. That is, perhaps you can't stop talking or laughing or giggling.
