Shifting Sand.....Solid Rock....

What a difference in our world when we can stand on God's solid rock of love, truth, and certainty in the storms and in the sunshine.  It's much more noticeable to see the difference in the storms.  Lord, so much of our world does not have You to stand on, especially in this country.  So many children are growing up father less and therefore have a hard time grasping who You are and can be in their life.  Goodness we need You Lord, people need to know that no matter what comes, You are there for them.  People need to know they can trust that You have what is best in mind for them, that listening to Your Word, responding to Your love by obeying you will bring them true peace, true joy, true abundant living.  Satan is so good at selling the lies of thinking that possessions, position, popularity are what matter and will bring us joy.  Lord, help us not chase after those things and recognize standing firm in You, Your love for us, Your plan for us...are what matter and what bring about an incredible life here and forever.  Help me know it in my heart always, help me live it, help me teach it.
