THE FIRM FACT OF YOUR FATHER

(These thoughts are added to daily...for obvious reasons...One A Day Vitamins should be taken each new day)

As a little boy I used to build dams of sand. I would construct these engineering miracles across some rushing stream and watch the water rise and the pressure build, and then it would happen. A small chink in the armor of my dam of sand, a breakthrough ever so small, and suddenly catastrophe. Like a giant the water would rush through, and my dam would disintegrate before my eyes.

What I had built, with only my hands to stem the water’s tide, could not retain the pressure. Life is like that, my friends.

Life pushes and frets from every side. Its constant pressures grow and grow, and if a man tries to retain these only by his own hand, like my little dam of long ago, it just won’t last for long.

“The Lord is my shepherd…he is my right hand…In the Lord put I my trust.” (Psalm 23:1; 168; 11:1,K.J.V.)

These Biblical truths are not just pretty phrases to be read, they are eternal messages to be lived. They are the unbreakable might and power that come to a life through taking them at their word.
