The past few days have been 100+ degree heat and the kids and I came down to my parent's for cousins camp in OKC. My sister and I rode down together in her van and the AC gave out! She'd already paid a lot to get it fixed so this was a bummer! The inside thermometer said it was 107. We had ice, we had sweat, we had windows down blowing hot air. It was miserable, but we knew we had to endure. The waterpark was just on the other side of our misery. This song came to mind and since it was so loud in there with the windows down, I sang it loud and strong just to keep my mind off the misery. Ignore the ugly pictures set to the song on YouTube but take a listen, it will bless you. It is Brooklyn Tab's version of Psalm 121...
The LORD watches over you—the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
Thank you Jesus, for keeping us in the palm of Your hand, and never giving us more than we can handle. This was a verse in my online bible study this morning.
The LORD will guide you always;
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail. Isa. 58:11
He watches, shades, protects, keeps, guides, satisfies, strengthens, provides and quenches our thirst in the heat of our life, when it seems we just can't endure. Hang on to these promises. The waterpark in the sky is just on the other side.
