Folks, I've said it before and while it may be a 'duh' comment, it's still true: We never know what a day might bring. Today, it is
Wednesday, June 17, 2026, and, we have been up pretty much the entire day already. Our Jimmy is back in the hospital after suffering some seizure-like symptoms. The wife carried him to the ER around 1 a.m. this morning and we do appreciate prayers on his behalf. To be honest, we had many other plans for our day but we are trusting God to help us to deal with whatever comes our way. We have so many of our dear friends, brothers and sisters in Christ, as well as family members, who are needing a special touch from Above. They do. They really do. On any given day, literally, my social media feed is filled up with folks seeking God's intervention. That tells me we are a needy people and as the song says, Jesus is right for whatever wrong in your life. He is. He really is. The truth remains the truth regardless of what you or I might be experiencing in this life. God is in control. He is on His throne. And, we can trust Him to see us through. I well remember a young man, having recently lost his beloved father, as he came to the platform and he presented this song:
Bow the Knee ~ Songwriters: Mike Harland /Christopher Machen
There are moments on our journey following the Lord
Where God illumines every step we take
There are times when circumstances make perfect sense to us
As we try to understand each move, He makes
When the path grows dim and our questions have no answers, turn to Him
Bow the knee
Trust the heart of your Father when the answer goes beyond what you can see
Bow the knee
Lift your eyes toward heaven and believe the One who holds eternity
And when you don't understand the purpose of His plan
In the presence of the King, bow the knee
There are days when clouds surround us, and the rain begins to fall
The cold and lonely winds won't cease to blow
And there seems to be no reason for the suffering we feel
We are tempted to believe God does not know
When the storms arise, don't forget, we live by faith and not by sight
Bow the knee
Trust the heart of your Father when the answer goes beyond what you can see
Bow the knee
Lift your eyes toward heaven and believe the One who holds eternity
And when you don't understand the purpose of His plan
In the presence of the King
Bow the knee
Trust the heart of your Father when the answer goes beyond what you can see
Bow the knee
Lift your eyes toward heaven and believe the One who holds eternity
And when you don't understand the purpose of His plan
In the presence of the King
Bow the knee
Bow the knee
Bow the knee
Bow the knee
His voice shook some as he shared this testimony from his grief supplanted by his belief. Our family has been through many difficulties that were often called tragedies and I can tell any and all what I have learned: When it seems there is no way, God is still the only answer. He is. He really is. I've been told by onlookers who say we just find a way to inject God into every challenge. They were so right. We do, and, I hasten to add we should do it as a normal part of our living out each and every day. We should. We really should. Do I always do that? You talking to me? I do not, but, that doesn't change how I should, you should, we all should be seeking God's hand in every breath we take. Okay. I, more or less, threw this together and you may have heard the statement that a person who represents themselves in court as a fool for a lawyer, well, I quickly add that a person who proofreads is own material has a fool for a proofreader. Or, something like that. Y'all have a great rest of today and may God add His blessings. Amen.
