Wednesday’s
Musings: Seeing God’s Goodness reused 4-9-19
Psalm 27:13-14 (NRSV) I believe that I shall see the goodness of the
Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your
heart take courage; wait for the Lord!
Experiments have proven that we see what we look for. For
example once you notice a red truck in the highway, suddenly you start seeing
more and more of them as you drive along. This works in the way we look at
life, too. I sometimes get so
discouraged when I watch the newscasts. It seems like we don’t go a day without
hearing of a senseless murder, or stories of arguing and graft from the school
systems to our national leaders. There
are so many personal tragedies; serious illnesses; unemployment;
homelessness. It’s enough to make anyone
depressed and wonder if things will ever get better. Yet we hope in the Lord. We recite the Psalms that praise God for God’s
goodness and faithfulness. I know that
to counter the bad needs that I need to be intentional about looking for the
goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
2 Chronicles 7:14 (CEB) If my people who belong to me will humbly
pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from
heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.
Pray with me today.
Love in Christ,Paige
