I’m listening to old hymns, just instrumental, but the lyrics are so well known that my heart sings them along with the music. “This is my father’s world” the tune flowing through me.
Life’s struggles can mount up. The craziness and unpredictability of the world is frightening.
It is easy to feel alienated from the world around us. Like someone watching a strange improvised play where the actors have no idea they are acting.
The weight of the world can feel unbearable. Stop. Breath. Remember this is God’s world.
Isaiah 40: 29-31 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
