It’s
Wise to Take Five
People seem to appear more restless and unsure these
days more than ever. Perhaps it’s all those political news announcements. Or
maybe its something closer to home.
“The LORD is righteous
in all his ways and loving toward all he has made. The LORD is near to all who
call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those
who fear him, he hears their cry and saves them. The LORD watches over all who
love him, but all the wicked he will destroy.” Psalm 145:17-21 NIV
Do you wonder if the mechanic, the doctor, the
electrician, the insurance company or even someone you think you know well is being
honest and truthful? We all do that.
The best way to stay strong, to be able to know
there is hope and to find the real truth is to simply open one’s Bible. A
person might not have but a few minutes in the morning with so much to do. And
oh my, how our fuzzy head desires that first cup of coffee or tea! But as they use to say: “It’s wise to take
five”.
Take five minutes and open up the Bible and read the
Word of God. There we can find a sure foundation to take our first step out
into the busy and often untruthful world.
We can discover over and over again how we can trust in what God says
and promises.
Waiting and depending on God is something learned
and practiced and oh so beneficial. Take five today and take away the truth
about God’s boundless wisdom, and His unconditional love that never, ever fails us.
“The deep root of all scriptural truth is this: absolute dependence upon God. As we practice
that attitude, I will become more natural and achievable for you to wait upon
God.” –Andrew Murray
