May the mumbling commence!
In this land of hustle and bustle, it is hard to find
God at times. It takes earnest
searching. Read from Psalm Sixty-three:
O God, you are my
God;
I earnestly
search for you.
My soul thirsts for you;
my whole body longs for you
in this parched and weary land where there
is no water. (Verse 1)
Every part of our beings thirsts for God. Nothing else can quench that thirst. We need God.
And that earnest search will not be in vain. In the Lord, we will find shelter… an echo of
yesterday’s Psalms. Read from the end of
Psalm Sixty-four:
The godly will rejoice in the Lord and find
shelter in him.
And
those who do what is right will praise him. (Verse 10)
Rejoice. Find a
joy that you would not have thought possible.
Shelter your life in God. Do what
is right… the path God has set before you.
In doing right, we praise the Lord.
It is that simple… and that hard.
Thank God for the salvation and reconciliation that is
made possible through the work of Christ Jesus.
It is Good News for sinners like me and you. Read from First Timothy chapter one:
This is a true saying, and everyone should believe it: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners – and I was the
worst of them all. But that
is why God had mercy on me, so that Christ Jesus could use me as a prime
example of his great patience with even the worst
sinners. Then others will realize that they,
too, can believe in him and receive eternal life. Glory and honor
to God forever and ever. He is the eternal King, the unseen one who never dies;
he alone is God. Amen. (Verses 15-17)
Jesus came to the world to save sinners. Let’s accept that gift anew each day.
Enough mumbling for now…
Peace Out
