Canadian doctor William Makis felt the need this morning to assure the world that, despite the severe persecution and legal challenges he is facing, he is in good spirits and is not suicidal. In the United States, Boeing whistleblower John Barnett assured a close friend that he was not suicidal. Now he is dead due to a self-inflicted gunshot wound, or so the story goes. What kind of world is this? It would be so easy to give in to despair. Instead, this morning I turned to the Psalms. I remembered my fear and uncertainty in 2008 when I was facing chemotherapy. I knew there would be times when I did not feel well enough to pick up my Bible or would not have the mental clarity to search for particular passages. I prepared for chemo by compiling a list of comforting passages to remind me of truth. Perhaps some of you need that list today.
Bless you for sharing these rich words of encouragement! I make digital cards ( I use Canva ) using my favorite verses, and upload them to my digital frame. All day long these verses rotate across the screen and I am reminded of God’s rich and wonderful promises. May God continue to richly bless you!
This was the first hymn I learned to play for Sunday school when I was a young girl! Always brought me joy. Thank you for such an uplifting post. Just discovered your Substack today. Also a grandmother and Christian who seems to have always been outside the camp as I follow the still small voice that keeps me in God’s care. Bless you and this endeavor to share the truth.
