Trust the Lord

> "I have no explanation. Some things just are." When I read these words this morning they stood up in my mind as full of meaning. It is in our nature to want answers for every situation. We do not like "I don't know" when the doctor cannot explain our illness. We expect God to answer our prayers and get upset when the answer is silence. Some things just are is reality in life. "Trust the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding …." (Proverbs 3:5) Many times as I deal with some issue and am fearful these words come to the surface of my mind and point me in the right direction….Some things just are and God is with you in the anxiety of not knowing.

Fwd: thought






"…NEITHER DO I CONDEMN THEE: GO, AND SIN NO MORE." (John 8:11)

"Judgements drive a man into his faults more deeply, but acceptance releases him to gain victories over self."

"Our acceptance of persons helps set them free to become new persons in Christ"

These quotes came from THE UPPER ROOM devotional book Oct. 31, 1972. I saved these thoughts
because at that time they meant something important to me. I share them now because they still speak
to our human need for embracing love just as we are and in this we find what we need to be the better 
person God intends us to be. 

Our political and social environment is so toxic we need some anchor truth to keep our balance.

"Be still, and know that I am God.." (Psalms 46:10) - "Step out of the traffic! Take a long, loving look at me, your High God, above politics, above everything." (Psalms 46:10 The Message) - It is morning, a new day. Life at every level and in every place calm or troubled or both. The voices of humanity yell for our attention. We are tired. Yet in moments of stillness in the midst of everything there arises from deep within a sense of good, love, grace. It is raining, even maybe ice and snow and there is …'your High God, above politics, everything…"

Unity

>HOW GOOD AND PLEASANT IT IS WHEN GOD'S PEOPLE LIVE TOGETHER IN UNITY! (Psalm 133:1) this is the relationship in which love thrives.

Educated Fool?


"Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful." (Samuel Johnson, 1709-1784) we can be educated fools or understanding wise persons.
