He comes from a generation of men that believe complaining is a sign of weakness of character and lack of trust in the Lord.”
–Stephen Bly (Shadow of Legends)
“As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.”
–2 Samuel 22:31 (NKJV)

Getting along some better, but I’m still going to borrow from Lois A. Cheney’s book. A change is good anyway.
“Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.”
. . . that fool Noah did, and built a stupid boat on dry land for years and years, and
man lived.
. . . that fool Job did, and the world kicked him, and his friends did too, and so did his old religion, and
he showed us a new face of God.
. . . that fool John the Baptist did, and he ate crunchy insects, and dressed like a jerk, and
baptized Jesus.
. . . that fool woman did; squeezing and elbowing through the crowd, just so she could grab at Jesus with
her hand, sick, sick from years of a woman’s sickness, and
she was healed.
But now we have aptitude tests, and counselors, and advisors, and rest camps, and psychiatrists, and lots of brains, and
WE act.
“Commit your way to the Lord, trust in him, and
he will act.”
Lord have mercy on us.
Lord have mercy on us.
We tend to trust in ourselves, in the knowledge of doctors, in a vaccine, in the political minds of the time. Have we ceased
to trust in the Lord? Are we still? Do we wait upon Him?
