Today’s Thought “Stress Kills” G. Ward

“Those who love Your law have great peace, and nothing causes them to stumble.” Psalm 119:165

Trouble will/can often reveal a need to turn back the hand of time to submit to proven leadership. It vows to never repeat the offense. It begs for rescue with great appeal, utilizing monologue that says, “If I get out of this one…”

The entirety of this is likely attributable to our abusive perception of Who God is. Our lack in consideration of His omniscience supposes He doesn’t desire us to suffer one singular moment (cf. Jas.1:2-3). He is not the rich uncle who bails us out of fiscal impropriety. Moreover, there is greater contingency in Knowing Him than copying and pasting slogans about His sufficiency (cf. Gal.6:7). Ordinarily, this wouldn’t be a second point in contemplation for many viewed as irrelevant,  in that songs like, “What A Friend We Have In Jesus” would resonate immediately. This generation, on the other hand prefers songs like, “God Has A Blessing With Yo Name On It!”

Happy Wednesday!
