Good Morning,
Sitting at my feet are our two English Springer Spaniels and to my right is a hot cup of Door County Irish Cream Coffee. I think I am ready to write.
Psalm 46:1-2, 10 1. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2.Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed and thought mountains are carried into the sea.
10. Be still and know that I am God.
I would not be exaggerating at all if I said that the world is a mess right not now. Climate changes, school shootings, workplace shootings, countries at war, others testing missiles that will lead to their country being wiped off of all maps, men competing as women in sports, world wide pandemics, are just some of the issues and I won't even touch for too long on inflation. The list is long my friends.
Yet woven within the tapestry of the book of Psalms we find a simple instruction from God as forest fires rage "stop, look up, and listen . His answer to us when we are emotionally troubled is short and to the point. We find ourselves focusing on the chaos and and problems and not on the One who holds the solutions or answers to our problems. It is time to stop. Focus on who God is and how much He loves YOU. Pray as if you were writing your own psalm and share your heart with God who is full of power and compassion.
Just a little food for thought on this Friday.
Marty
