It seems that I am reminded each day that apart from God (pardon my poor English) we got nothing. If God is not Almighty, all-knowing, ever present, and filled with immense love for us…we got nothing.
I love what the Psalmist says in the 46th psalm. It is like he is describing life in Southern California. The beauty of this place we call home is found so much in where the mountains meet the sea and when the place is not rocking and rolling or on fire we revel in the fact that we live in paradise. Okay, it’s not Kauai, but for the mainland it is pretty nice. Despite the fact that we live in paradise and in spite of the fact that we breathe smog and smoke apart from God we got nothing. It doesn’t matter if you live in Santa Monica, Kauai, or Arkansas if you ain't got God you ain’t got nothing.
Look at what God is all about. He is a refuge. He is our strength. He is our help in times of trouble. If we ain’t got God we ain’t go nothing.
Psalm 46:1-3
God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.
2 So we will not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea.
3 Let the oceans roar and foam. Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge!
Please pray for Mr. & Mrs. Trubey. Mr. Trubey is not doing well. It appears as though God will call him home very soon. Mr. & Mrs. Trubey have been married over 60 years. Mrs. Trubey is doing pretty well all things considered. If you get a chance, give her a call or write her a note to let her know that they are in your prayers.
