Jacket sure felt good this morning. This cool front makes it seem a bit as if we are moving away from the heat. Even had to turn on the furnace a bit. But the morning walk was fine. Brisk and pleasant. And there is much to think about, and pray over.
David started his day that way, you recall? “In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice”. Ps. 5,3 And the news certainly gives us much to pray about. The wild fires raging in California, for example, lives lost, property destroyed, nature in upheaval, and winds making the fighting of the fires nearly impossible.
And on the other side of the county rejoicing over a Perfect Liftoff for another space endeavor.
Meanwhile, right where I live, and you live, real problems little and big to keep us maybe upset, or at least interested.
Is it any wonder Paul writes to the Philippians, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Phil 4, 6.7. And later he adds, “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength”.v.13
There is so much on our plate that we do well, and find comfort in this, that God also says, “Be Still and know that I Am GOD”. Psalm 46,10a.
May this word bring ease to your aching heart and wondering mind, thou who does what the Apostle urges, “Pray continually” 1 Thess 5,17.
