Our weakness and inadequacies show us that we need His strength. The chaos and trauma of this world cannot be handled by ourselves. How can you listen to the Shepherd’s voice with all the noise and distractions around us? If ever we need to filter out what can distract us from His kingdom’s presence, it is now. Hammering out our faith and how it applies to today takes effort, but it also requires His grace the mystery of the two forces merge into worship and surrender to Him. He provides the safety and provision we need, but we must to run toward Him. Whatever interruptions to our plans we encounter, He provides.
Proverbs 18:10 - The name of the LORD is a strong tower;
the righteous man runs into it and is safe.
“It isn’t the hurts, blows, and bruises that rob us of the freshness of Christ’s beauty in our lives. More likely, it is careless ease, empty pride, earthly preoccupations, and too much prosperity that will put layers of dirty film over our souls.” - Joni Eareckson Tada, A Place of Healing: Wrestling with the Mysteries of Suffering, Pain, and God's Sovereignty
