Scripture |
"He
is like a tree by the waterside that thrusts its roots to the stream.
When the heat comes it feels no alarm, its foliage stays green." |
Reflection |
Ah,
equanimity. Wouldn't I love to achieve it! The author is speaking
of one "who puts his trust in Yahweh". I'd like to think
I do, yet I still rant at the headlines, and claim that the world
is going to the bow-wows. Perhaps if I step back, I might get a sense
of the big picture, and realize that the Spirit is still blowing through
the world. I might even look around and notice some "everyday
saints" I know, quietly bearing fruit, steadfast in faith and
full of humor. These worthies are no Pollyannas, denying harsh realities.
They simply refuse to get bogged down; rather they stay focused on
answering a silent call, true to their best instincts. Come to think
of it, I could make quite a list of these folks. Who would be on yours? |
Mantra |
I
trust in you, my God. |
