Wednesday’s Musings: An Ever Present Help



Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.

Just as I left the parsonage this morning for a walk, the Hapeville garbage truck came down our street. An odious smell always follows along with it.  I thought I would just alter my route, cut through the Christian Church parking lot and walk down Old Jonesboro road.  Of the three directions it could have gone, the truck came down the street after me.  I ran down Old Jonesboro to stay ahead of it.  I mean it is a really BAD smell, one that can turn your stomach. What do people put in their trash cans?  At the foot of the hill I turned right and sought refuge in the park.  There are no trash receptacles lining the road around the ball fields or in Master Park. I am glad that there are parks so near our home in Hapeville. They are shady and quiet and a good place to walk and commune with nature and God.  We each need people and places of refuge in our life.  It may be a quiet place in nature, a good friend, an altar railing or even a good book.  Above all scripture tells us that God is our refuge and strength; always near when we are troubled.

Holy God, thank you for being our refuge and strength.  Today we turn our many cares over to you.  Help us to feel the presence of the Holy Spirit.  In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Blessings,

Paige
