Oh My!

That’s HOT.

[luvie]

It is! I’m not leaving this air conditioned house today for anything. LOL!

Is the humidity up there too? That is dangerous. Stay Cool, My FRiend.

[luvie]

No, last time I looked..about an hour ago...the humidity was at 19%. Which means it feels cooler than it actually is. But it still feels pretty toasty to me. LOL!

When the humidity matches the temperature, watch out!

[TheConservativeParty]

Raining here too. Lots of rain. Checking in from my workplace lunchroom. Will be home by 8pm. 😅

[luvie]

Indeed. I used to live in Georgia and I have visited Thailand where that happens regularly. LOL! In Thailand it’s like breathing liquid air.

Navigating Life’s Rapids

Bible in a Year:

• Job 17–19
• Acts 10:1–23

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

Psalm 32:8

“Everybody on the left, give me three strong forward strokes!” our whitewater raft guide shouted. Those on the left dug in, pulling our raft away from a churning vortex. For several hours, we’d learned the importance of listening to our guide’s instructions. His steady voice enabled six people with little rafting experience to work together to plot the safest course down a raging river.

Life has its share of whitewater rapids, doesn’t it? One moment, it’s smooth sailing. Then, in a flash, we’re paddling like mad to avoid suddenly swirling whirlpools. Those tense moments make us keenly aware of our need for a skilled guide, a trusted voice to help us navigate turbulent times.

In Psalm 32, God promises to be that voice: “I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go” (v. 8). Backing up, we see that confessing our sins (v. 5) and prayerfully seeking Him (v. 6) play a role in hearing Him too. Still, I take comfort in the fact that God promises, “I will counsel you with my loving eye on you” (v. 8), a reminder that His guidance flows from His love. Near the end of the chapter, the psalmist concludes, “The Lord’s unfailing love surrounds the one who trusts him” (v. 10). And as we trust Him, we can rest in His promise to guide us through life’s rockiest passages.

What circumstances in your life right now feel like whitewater rapids? How might you seek God’s guiding voice about how to respond?

Father, thank You for Your promise to be my Guide. Help me to seek You and listen to You as You direct the course of my life.
