Time off
After another lengthy hiatus, I’m back to recording some daily thoughts…Now that summertime is really here and I have the luxury of no work for the next few months, I’m starting to relax and enjoy this time of year. One of the perks of being a professor is having a 10-month appointment! While the pay isn’t great, the time off is really worth it. I am hoping to get more done in the yard, especially with planting and maintaining the gardens we’ve made. Since we’ve been gone for most of the past few weeks, there is lots to do in terms of weeding! Maybe we’ll even get some more unpacking and decorating done in the house. I was reading in Psalm 78 just now, verses 13-16: “He divided the sea and led them through; he made the water stand firm like a wall. He guided them with the cloud by day and with light from the fire all night. He split the rocks in the desert and gave them water as abundant as the seas; he brought streams out of a rocky crag and made water flow down like rivers.” This is of course reference to the children of Israel in the wilderness, but it makes me think about times in the past that God has brought me through. There are many examples where I didn’t think I could possibly get throught yet He provided what was needed. Praise be to Him! I think each of us needs to remember the signposts of God’s provision in our lives, especially when we face ongoing hurdles or struggles at the present time. Recall what He has done in the past and be strengthened by that recollection.
