Psalm 55:8-9 I would hurry to my place of shelter, far from the tempest and storm. Lord confuse the wicked and [frustrate] their words for I see violence and [conflict] in the city. NIV
This passage seems very appropriate, right now. At the time I wrote this post, behind me, the newscasters are giving a play-by-play report on those trying to decide whether to shelter-in-place or flee for safety, due to the most recent hurricane. Yes, the Bible is still pertinent to our lives today.
But it is even more relevant, related to the unrest in our world these days. It feels like there are people coming out of the woodwork, saying things that confuse me and make me want to hide my head in the sand and wait until all the conflict is over.
Sure, it's enough to make me want to eat myself into oblivion, but Christ has shown me that I need to turn all the stress from the storms of our world, into His very capable hands. Every time, I do this, I don't feel so overwhelmed or tempted to overeat, and He makes me able to move forward, one step at a time.
