Repair the Cracks

Watchword for the Week -- The Lord has done great things for us.
Psalm 126:3

Jeremiah 31:7-9; Psalm 126
Hebrews 7:23-28; Mark 10:46-52

God, you have caused the land to quake; you have torn it open;
repair the cracks in it, for it is tottering. Psalm 60:2

For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope.
For who hopes for what is seen? Romans 8:24

Dear Lord, our hope is in you. You do great things for us. Help
us to trust every area of our lives and our families' and
friends' lives to your care. You are the perfect answer to our
needs. Amen.

After a week like we've had I feel like the psalmist who wrote, "you have caused the land to quake; you have torn it open; repair the cracks in it, for it is tottering."

While I do not always agree to the philosophy that the Lord causes the problems in our lives, it sure does feel like it sometimes. When nothing is going well we want to say, "Enough, God!"

But whether or not God is the cause of the issues, God is the one who can fix things. He can step in and make "the rough places smooth."

When we really believe this, we can, as Job did, say, "Blessed be the Name of the Lord" no matter what comes our way.
