The Painting: It reminds me of lemonade on a hot day...but is is 8 degrees outside. Hummm, what is wrong with this picture. Wishful thinking? Wonderful overlays and drips and a sturdy strong horse.
The Thought: I was reading Psalm 27 this morning. This is another Psalm written by David. It reminds me of something I need tacked inside my brain...when you have those unexpected panic attacks or someone is rage driving down the road and they cross your lane, or even when someone falls ill in your family. That is when you need Psalm 27.
"The Lord is my light and my salvation - whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life - of whom shall I be afraid. When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall. Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident." Psalm 27:1-3
David writes on that he asks one thing of the Lord, that he may dwell in the Lord's house all of his days.... to be able to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord in his heavens. David knows the Lord will keep him safe from his enemies and troubles...and David only seeks the Lord.
"My heart says of you, "Seek his face! Your face, Lord, I will seek." Psalm 27:9
I have to remind myself in the troubled times to simply trust and seek the Lord's face...seek His work, His peace and His grace to light my way. He is there to light your way too.
Whatever you are fighting in life, it is time to let it go. The Lord will lead you in a straight line away from the chaos. You have to be ready to let it all go. Are you fighting yourself?
