“He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters.” Psalm 23:2
Recently I was walking on a greenway in a high end area of Boise where many condo’s are under construction facing the Boise River and a sign advertised ‘Live the Laid Back Life’ as if somehow forking over a million bucks for a river view was going to make you feel laid back and all your issues and problems in life would disappear.
Temporarily human goodies make you feel some relief but if deep down you have something in life that needs to be dealt with moving to a luxury condo won’t make it magically disappear. Many drown problems in drugs, alcohol, internet and none of those will make your issues go away but will exasperate them.
What are you struggling with today? Have you spoken to God yet? I suggest to begin your day on your knees if you can physically get on your knees and put the phone away and cry out to God. Let Him hear what burdens you and ask Him to give you strength to be still in the journey.
PRAYER: I need you Lord each and every day my heart yearns for you like after walking a dry and weary land. You alone can lead me beside still waters. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
