Sometimes a change of scenery is just what you need. This is looking over Green Bay from my lodge in Door County, Wisconsin. I grew up where there was no water. No stream. The lake was 20 miles away. A little stream we called a river was 7 or 8 miles away. When you’re a kid on a bicycle, that is a long way.
It’s 6 am and no one is out save the crows. Last night’s thunderstorm cleared the air and left a little mist rising from the woods.
I seldom read the Psalms. Don’t know why. I like poetry–even published some a long time ago.
But you get the feeling like David must have. In the still of the morning or evening after one of his high-tension days, he sat and meditated looking over the landscape. And his thoughts focused on God.
He thought about his needs and worries. Then he thought about God’s graciousness. How if you just trust God, it’ll work out somehow.
And whatever will be good for the soul.
I have projects piling up. Need to wrap up about three of them before Labor Day.
But for today. It’s just you and me, God. Right?
