"Delight in God's Way"

“Happy are those who delight in the law of the Lord
and on God’s law they meditate day and night.”

--Psalm 1:2

When we stop to embrace the “law of the Lord”, we are making a choice that leads to positive surroundings in the midst of all of life’s storms. And, when we meditate on that law of unconditional love, we find an infusion of hope that makes all of life’s uncertainties bearable.

Today’s comfort card reads: “God’s hope pours into your world. Upon the sick God shines the ray of healing. To the bereaved, the promise of reunion is given. For the dying, God lights the flame of resurrections. To the confused, the light of Scripture is offered.”

As this year draws to an end, realize that through your caregiving, some rays of the eternal did shine. If you are off this weekend, meditate on ways you receive God’s unconditional love and HOPE will fill your world. If you work this weekend, remember you have an opportunity to demonstrate that God’s everlasting love is always near, thereby filling others with HOPE.

A prayer: In my work and in my leisure, may I delight in your way, O God. Amen.
