"An arrogant man stirs up strife, but he who trusts in the LORD will prosper. He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but he who walks wisely will be delivered." Prov. 28:25-26
There are few words that can drain the soul like, "There is nothing else we can do." When the doctor left the hospital room, I turned to my 93 year old father, and tried to express what he was facing. With a calm voice, and a peaceful countenance, he said, "I sensed things were different this time. We can still trust God. Will you pray for me?" I did my best, but I can't tell you what I said. My heart was all over the map, and tears were all over my face.
Dad's compass was pointed in the right direction. Over a life-time of faith he always turned to the immovable, Presence of God, and put his trust in Him. One of Dad's favorite sayings was, "The best is yet to come." He often said it while seated in his prayer arbor swing, facing the rising sun. He would smile, and whisper, "Someday Someone wonderful is going to come from that direction. I want to meet Him. On April 22nd of this year, Dad did.
It is so foolish to believe, there is nothing else we can do. We can always trust God.
TALK LESS! PRAY MORE!
