From the Good Book

Maybe some of you grew up hearing the phrase "the Good Book" when  someone was referring to the Bible. It never meant to me then, what it does now; like many things in life. Today I just want to send out a couple of my favorite verses from the Good Book. Read, reflect, and here's a good one, ruminate.(Rumination is something a cow does to its food; chewing it over and over. No more details necessary.) Let these words be your refuge today.

"My mind and my body may grow weak, but God is my strength; He is all I ever need."   Psalm 73:26

"The steps of the godly are directed by the Lord. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will not fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand."          Psalm 37:23-24

This second verse creates a visual in  my mind. I see the Lord holding my hand as I plod or skip or am dragged through the day and no matter my gate, the Lord can keep me steady. That's a good thing as I am really no good to Him on my face!

Pick a part or phrase of either of these verses and use them as your mantra today. Let the Lord into the details of your life. He delights in them. Even if you don't.!
