Monday Scripture: Psalm 94
Unless the Lord...
------------------
Unless the Lord had given me help,
I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.
When I said, “My foot is slipping,”
your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.
When anxiety was great within me,
your consolation brought me joy.
------------------
Not many people have lived past the age of 25 because of the wise choices we made along the way.
God's grace goes before us--
Before we mature--
Before we know better--
Before we have a lick of sense.
In the rear view mirror of life experience, we begin to see how God was there all along--
Preventing us from making some terrible mistakes--
Healing the damage of the ones we made anyway--
Helping us up when we slipped and fell.
And no matter how old or wise we become,
we never outgrow the need for God's grace to go ahead of us.
In this time of high anxiety, it's good to know we don't have to figure it all out.
All we have to do is figure out Who to follow.
