It’s Friday and time to reflect on the blessings of this week. For many years I taught political science. I often find myself still dwelling on it. This is an area that I must guard myself against because it is easy to become an idol in my life. Scripture warns that anything we think on all the time or meditate on that takes the place of God is an idol and that is a great sin before the Lord. To combat it, it is important to think of all the blessings that God has bestowed.
I am grateful for my husband, my children, my adorable grandchildren and the promise and Word of Holy Scripture. I know that God is always honest, He is incapable of lying. I know that because of Christ, my trust in who Christ is and what He did for me on the cross is my path through the narrow gate into His presence. No matter how bad this world gets, my home eternally is with Christ. This life is just a vapor. That might make some of you feel better knowing this world will not always be and for others of you it might frighten you. Trust in God’s character. Trust in what scripture tells you Christ is and who God is and who the Holy Spirit is. They are three separate and yet one. They are truthful. They love you beyond your imagination. Submit to them and trust your eternity to them.
