What do you do when your computer messes up and it sends you a message? You know the message…it is written in code. It just as well could have come from outer space. Wednesday, I endured a 3-hour chat with my domain about my email, to no avail. Just frustration. Thursday, I set aside the afternoon for Microsoft. I jumped for joy when the person on the chat asked permission to remote into my computer. This reminded me of when my cousin was helping his mom with her computer problem. After he had connected remotely into her computer he said, “Mom, put your hands in your lap…don’t touch anything.”

BAM! Isn’t that what God is telling us? Start the day with “Be still and know I Am God.” Ps 46:10.

We must remember God knows us personally. “You know when I sit and when I rise; You perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; You are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue You, Lord, know it completely. You hem me in behind and before, and You lay Your hand upon me.” Psalm 139:2-5.

Father, lay your mighty and tender hand on us today. Only you can bring calm in the storm, healing to the body and soul and Hope in the middle of the confusion of the unknown…Touch us today in a mighty way. May Your Light shine through us in dark times. In The Name of Your Son & Our Savior, Jesus we pray. Amen.
