The Best Strategy for Life

Bible in a Year: 2 Kings 7–9; John 1:1–28

Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. Ecclesiastes 4:12

In Boston, Massachusetts, a plaque titled “Crossing the Bowl of Tears” remembers those who braved the Atlantic to escape death during the catastrophic Irish potato famine of the late 1840s. More than a million people died in that disaster, while another million or more abandoned home to cross the ocean, which John Boyle O’Reilly poetically called “a bowl of tears.” Driven by hunger and heartache, these travelers sought some measure of hope during desperate times.

In Psalm 55, David shares how he pursued hope. While we’re uncertain about the specifics of the threat he faced, the weight of his experience was enough to break him emotionally (vv. 4–5). His instinctive reaction was to pray, “Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest” (v. 6).

Like David, we may want to flee to safety in the midst of painful circumstances. After considering his plight, however, David chose to run to his God instead of running from his heartache, singing, “As for me, I call to God, and the Lord saves me” (v. 16).

When trouble comes, remember that the God of all comfort is able to carry you through your darkest moments and deepest fears. He promises that one day He Himself will wipe away every tear from our eyes (Revelation 21:4). Strengthened by this assurance, we can confidently trust Him with our tears now.

By Bill Crowder

Today's Reflection

What causes you to want to run away? What’s your instinctive reaction when trouble comes?

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

It’s hump day and we made it. Is resting going well? Are you doing a good job?

I got Blue home yesterday and spent the better part of the afternoon polishing the chrome!

I’ve had two rides already, took Penny for a short hike in the State Forest nearby, taught a bunch of lessons and did some yard work.

IT’S FINALLY SPRING!!!!!!!

Howdy, radu!

Hope you had a good day! Did you watch the storm chasers in East Texas? My son was at A&M Uni. in College Station. Whoop!

And it was beautiful here. They got ALL the rain and didn’t share. LOL!

Thanks for tonights thread, Ma!
Good evening everyone!

I spent this afternoon with Sue, who owns the cottage
that you guys stay in.

She has been battling cancer, and I was just heartbroken
at how frail she is now.
*sigh*
I HATE cancer!

She hired a new lady to “run” the cottage (rentals),
and this moonbat wanted to WHITEWASH the walls in the cottage!
GRRRR!!!
Numbskull!
That idea was met with a resounding NO!

WE had lunch at this place:

I want to take you there next time you come up!
It was fun watching their black labs gamboling around on the expansive lawn. and chasing the seagulls!

I asked Sue if she has seen Cole at all, and she hasn’t.
I sure hope that big dummy is okay!
