Thoughts for another day
August 10, 2010
Today's verse: Pro. 3:25, 26. Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)
In India recently, there was a cloud burst in the northern part of the country and bang’ there were landslides and unbelievable destruction everywhere. People were swept away with their houses and many did not survive. Even today as I write, there are many people missing and each day, as they dig through the mud, they find dead bodies buried in them. When I look at the pictures on television, I consider myself ‘fortunate’ for it never happened to me. Then I am reminded of the above verse and also of Ps. 91.
I go back to Bible times when people who paid homage to the Living God had difficulties, He pulled them out of them. See, David says in Ps. 40, ‘I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.’ David, the greatest king Israel had, knew the benefit of being God-centered. And so I will say, God is there in every aspect of our lives to cajole us and draw us out of the pit as it were.
I entirely lay my trust in our Scripture today for I know the marvelous works of the Lord and how He yearns to be with us and guard and guide us. Oh, He is so beautiful. One may not want to believe this and say when He gives calamities, what’s the big deal if He saves a few. But my friend calamities are a result of the evil we spew out and even if there is no evident reason for a particular calamity, the Sovereign of the universe knows what He is doing and one thing is for sure: If we have recourse to Him, He is sure to help us out of any difficulty we may have. Place your trust in Him.
