He will raise you up on eagle’s wings; With a song in my heart; thoughts from our music director, Rick Roberts.
Good Thoughtful Thursday Morning!
Hope all of you are doing great this week. Today, we have a thought to ponder:
While on a flight to New York, the pilot announced that we were approaching a very bad thunderstorm. He explained that he was going to go to a higher altitude to go above the storm. I could hear the engines throttling up and the plane began to nose up into the heavens. What a sight it was to look out the window and see the dark clouds and lightning below us. Here we were in the sunshine and below were gloomy, black clouds. I wonder if the pilot knew about the eagles.
Sometimes, we all face dark and gloomy days. Things just aren’t going right, or there is financial difficulty or illness. Perhaps it is relationships with friends or loved ones that are in ruin. Filled with doubt and despair, we are sometimes in the “storm” of our lives.
The bible tells us how to cope with these issues:
What a blessing to know that God is with us in times of trouble. Our Creator can lift us up when we are down. The Master can sooth our hurts and disappointments. Our prayers are heard and not unanswered. What an awesome God we serve!
I’m reminded of the words from a hymn we love to sing:

How blessed we are. Ponder on that, if you will. |
