Today’s Thought “Dispirited?” G. Ward Psalm 34:18 “The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” Perhaps a fast pace acceptable to a prosperous, robust society is vulnerable to ruin comparable to erecting a building, elaborate in construction and admired by many, but soon to collapse because of a faulty foundation? Misery thereafter becomes an un-welcomed accompaniment and while it appears inescapable, even appearing so grievous that its miserable lasting power overshadows reprieve, there’s a forced seat of reflection without celebration; until I decide my Creator remains Sufficient. *Before an ordinary entry onto His presence seeks an immediate relief, my regard for His reign must then insist on Him ruling this soul provided; it’s then that comfort and joy is on the way (*1 Jn.1:8-10).
