Our World
“Trust in the Lord
with all your heart
and lean not on
your own understanding.”
(Proverbs 3 vs. 5)
As an octogenarian, I constantly wonder about the
direction society is going. Remember the good old days? It seems that whatever
age you are, they exist. Two of my mom's favorite expressions were "Live
and Learn." and "The more you know, the more you don't know." By
now, we “Octos” know it all. Hah.
In the 50s, TV was going to ruin us. We spent more time
watching it than reading, but we still read books. Then years later, we bought
an Apple IIE computer, and a new age began. In our ever-evolving society, the
only constant in the human race is “change.”
What has not changed? Nature. We still have four seasons;
the sun rises and sets; tides ebb and flow. It is September, and here in the
northland, the evenings are cool, school has started, and a few leaves are
turning.
Man’s technology changes the way we operate. Our constant
is our God-given world. We will read on our phones and tablets and send emails
through cyberspace. All the while, God’s world will continue to evolve.
Thought for Today: Let's give thanks for the many fall activities;
school begins, kids are excited, and the formal learning process starts. To
some, the start of the fall sports season is meaningful. To others, the fall
means hunting and being outdoors. It would be easy amongst all the activities
to forget God. Remember that all this is God's work, and give thanks for it
all.
Prayer for Today: Dear Lord, we thank you for your
patient love. We hope and pray that we may use that love to understand this
complex world and apply it to everyone's benefit.
