Isaiah 59:1

Posted on by Stan Hillard

Behold,the Lord’s hand is not so short that it cannot save;

Nor His ear so dull that it cannot hear.

The world is a cruel, hard place and its trials are many.

It is challenging to be able to make right choices.

We stumble, fall, grieve and attempt to pick ourselves up.

We cling to the past and burden ourselves with blame.

We doubt the future and fail to see the hope in it.

Even our present is a jumble of puzzle pieces.

We take umbrage, trusting in no one.

Desperate for empathy, we mourn.

We forget that God is a very present help in trouble.

No matter how rocky our path, He sees our every step.

No matter how foolish our thinking, He is constant.

No matter how confounding our dilemma, there is help.

God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, always there and accessible.

They are our shield from the danger of the deceiver’s lies.

Take comfort, we are not alone, ever.

I am a man who loves the Lord, my wife and art in that order. I find that there is not enough of me to get done all of the things I find important. I am learning to ease into things instead of jumping before I consider what the outcome will be. I try to see the glass and not to worry about how full or empty it is. Loss in life has lead me to be thankful for what I have and not to be a whiner. God has provided more than is equitable considering how often I fail Him. I find that loving is more valuable than being loved. Art is and has always been the thread in my life that ties everything else together. I long for the day...
