Bible in a Year: 1 Chronicles 13; John 5:2547
Into your hands I commit my spirit; deliver me, Lord, my faithful God. Psalm 31:5
Twenty minutes into a flight from New York to San Antonio, the flight plan changed as calm gave way to chaos. When one of the planes engines failed, debris from the engine smashed through a window causing the cabin to decompress. Sadly, several passengers were injured and one person was killed. Had not a calm, capable pilot been in the cockpitone trained as a Navy fighter pilotthings could have been tragically worse. The headline in our local paper read, In Amazing Hands.
In Psalm 31, David revealed that he knew something about the Lords amazing, caring hands. Thats why he could confidently say, Into your hands I commit my spirit (v. 5). David believed that the Lord could be trusted even when life got bumpy. Because he was targeted by unfriendly forces, life was very uncomfortable for David. Though vulnerable, he was not without hope. In the midst of harassment David could breathe sighs of relief and rejoice because his faithful, loving God was his source of confidence (vv. 57).
Perhaps you find yourself in a season of life when things are coming at you from every direction, and its difficult to see whats ahead. In the midst of uncertainty, confusion, and chaos one thing remains absolutely certain: those who are secure in the Lord are in amazing hands.
Have you committed your lifeyour earthly and eternal existence and well-beingto God? How are you showing that you are trusting Him in good times and bad?
Father, help me to be encouraged knowing that Jesus prayed Psalm 31:5 when He was on the cross. In the midst of pain and suffering, He committed His life into Your hands.
PING~A~LING Y’ALL

WELCOME to the Canteen
(I’m going to say that since I haven’t seen you here before)
Thanks for joining us in honoring our military.
Are you one?
Hi Everybody!
((((HUGS))))
Blue didn’t pass inspection this morning. It seems I have been riding around merrily with no rear brakes. Since I use an instinctive combination of deceleration, down-shifting, and front and rear braking I didn’t notice.
But one really needs rear brakes on a Harley, so, into the shop she goes $$$$$$$$$.
Hiya Pro.
Hope you are enjoying some spring weather.
Not much new over this way. Still working on a few home projects, doing some writing, crochet projects; the norm.
Have a restful evening.
OH my...LOL
Good thing you went through inspection then.
I use an instinctive combination of deceleration, down-shifting, and front and rear braking
Hmmm, so how long has it been without rear brakes, then?
Less than a year, as last year’s May Inspection looked fine.
Thanks, beachy, for today’s “Just Hangin’ Cafe”.
Sorry I’m late....work meeting.
