Good morning ☀️🌞
I struggled today at finding the “right” translation of the verse below. I resorted to the King James Version. The scriptures make the point that we all stumble at times, but God does not cast us away. He continues to love us and is always waiting with open arms. That, my friends, is good news for us sinners.
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholdeth him with His hand.” Psalm 37: 23-24 (KJV).

Greetings 👋
Are we learning to be content in all circumstances? I confess I grumbled about a 3-day loss of electrical power, before reflecting on God’s faithfulness and His provision. Apostle Paul has something relevant to say about adversity and abundance.
“I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”
Philippians 4: 11-13 (NIV).
What are your thoughts and experiences about lack and abundance?

How do we keep our peace and joy in a world gone mad? The Apostle Paul offers some guidance for a peaceful state of mind.
“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.”
Philippians 4: 8-8 (NIV).
