Thursday’s Musings: God as a Crutch? Amen!



Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

How many of you have ever heard non-believers accuse Christians of using religion as a crutch?  They are really clueless and I feel so sorry for them.  Not too long ago we received a phone call in the evening from our son, Robert.  He had hurt his foot badly while running in Stone Mtn. Park.  Because he had walked into the park from his nearby home a park ranger drove him home.  He crawled around his house and called us to bring him some crutches.  He was injured and couldn’t walk without them.  He’s much better now but there was no shame in him needing that extra help.  We are all injured in some way.  Whether we admit it or not, we all need some type of help negotiating life in this challenging world.  There is no shame in turning to the Creator of the universe for that help.  God helps us get on our feet and stay on our feet.  When we need extra help, God is there.  Crutch? Whatever!  I’m so glad to have God to call upon.

Holy God, I love you so much. Thank you for being my constant help. Life without you would be so very difficult. All glory and praise to you. Amen.

Blessings,
Paige
