There is something very settling and peaceful about walking through a fall garden. I took a picture this afternoon of a "Golden Raindrops" Crab Apple tree in our yard. The little "golden raindrops," like miniature apples, stay through the Fall into the winter, providing beautiful and nutritious food for any enterprising bird.
It's a good thing to find something peaceful in a world that is in such disarray. Given the turmoil on every front, our new president certainly has his work cut out for him, and can use all the prayer he can get!
As I was thinking about our country, and the lack of inner peace and unrest felt by so many, I was reminded of a very wonderful truth about the Bible:
What is the shortest chapter in the Bible? Psalm 117.
What is the longest chapter in the Bible? Psalm 119.
What is the center chapter in the Bible? Psalm 118.
There are 594 chapters before Psalm 118, and 594 chapters after it.
Add those two together and you get 1188.
What is the central verse in the Bible? Psalm 118.8:
"It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man."
Coincidence? I think not! Regardless of how we might think or feel, God is still on the throne, and has everything in control. All we need do is rest in him!
Blessings,
Bill
