Some days are just so crazy….You can’t accomplish much.
You ought to call a lonely sister, just to keep in touch.
There’s someone with dementia who’s living life alone
And there’s a college student, being faithful on her own.
You need to visit the widow who sits just down the pew.
And help the mom who brings five kids. She does look up to you.
There’s Charlie, who’s a visitor and Sam, who’s homeless now.
You’ve planned to stop at the nursing home, but, oh…you don’t know how!
You juggle items on your list. So much is left undone.
You try to be six places, but you barely cover one.
And every woman reading this, while rushing…running late…
To fill needs and plates and babies’ mouths….Each woman can relate.
But if she’s made it to the Word and bowed her soul in prayer
She’s done the most important thing. The rest will still be there.
So when the clock is chasing and the needs outrun resources,
Remember that He’s ever-present and the best recourse is
To recognize the refuge…From the rush that is your foe.
In every anxious time of stress, to just be still and know.
c. colley
God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed,
and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled,
though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God,
the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved:
God shall help her, and that right early.
The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved:
he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
Come, behold the works of the Lord,
what desolations he hath made in the earth.
He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth;
he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder;
he burneth the chariot in the fire.
Be still, and know that I am God:
I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
(Psalm 46)
