Psalm 62:3–4 (ESV) —
3 How long will all of you attack a man
to batter him,
like a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
4 They only plan to thrust him down from his high position.
They take pleasure in falsehood.
They bless with their mouths,
but inwardly they curse. Selah
NOTE: This verse has
always been a reminder to me that leadership is a lonely place. I think it is
important, even essential to have a friend. I think a relationship with God is
a real game-changer. I know as I have faced adversity over this past year, it
is my relationship with God that has got me through it and given me peace.
Today's work environment is a strange place. There is very limited freedom to
express any view which is counter to the prevailing cultural opinion of the
day. And the ability to share the gospel is even more severely restricted. But
it still is possible to be a witness for Jesus Christ in words and actions. We
can still care. We can still pray privately. We can still give thanks to God
for the things he has given in our personal life. And each of those things can
make an impact on a lost world.
PRAYER: Father, the
world is in chaos, but one thing always remains and one thing answers every
need of men and women -- we need Jesus. A changed heart that is filled with the
goodness of God and a redeemed life are our greatest needs. How I look forward
to the day when Jesus reigns in the millennial kingdom! We need you Lord Jesus.
Come Lord Jesus.
