Someone posted on Facebook, "God doesn't have a blackberry or an iPhone, but He is my favorite contact. He doesn't have Facebook, but He is my best friend. He doesn't have Twitter, but I follow Him, and He doesn't have internet, but I am connected to Him. "
Not everyone notices it, but God actually is the easiest friend to contact. In spite of all the wonderful new worship music being sung these days, I still cling to a few old hymns. One of my favorites is "What a Friend We Have in Jesus". However, rather than just taking it for granted, I keep thinking of these words from the song: "O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer".
That's my problem; I keep forgetting that I don't need to handle situations on my own.
I do believe God is even closer than a telephone call away, but He waits for our call.
(Whispers of Wisdom) Where I live, on a hill unobstructed by buildings or trees, the sky looks very big. I'm constantly reminded to look up for a sunrise, sunset, special cloud formations or varying colors. It also reminds me to look up more often than I look around me, remembering that the answers to the confusion around us can only come from above, from God our Creator. What He allows me to learn, I'd like to share with you.
