Psalm
27, verse 1:
1The LORD is my
light and my salvation; whom should I fear?
The
LORD is my life’s refuge; of whom should I be afraid?
We will no longer have to pretend that we are not afraid for we will
trust the Lord with our whole being offering our lives, families, time and
treasure with total peace. We will be
able to sleep and awaken easily. The old
Navajo adage will no longer apply to us; you
cannot wake a person who is pretending to be asleep; due to our faith in
God.
Through our reliance in Him we will be able to say with King David, “I
believe that I shall see the bounty of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait
for the LORD with courage; be stouthearted, and wait for the LORD.” (Psalm
27:13-14).
Today is traditionally the Eve of the feast of St. Nicholas and many
families have their children put out shoes or stockings for St. Nick to
fill. Tonight would be a good time to
shut off the TV and have a family night[1] and
perhaps discover the true St. Nicholas who was devoted to Christ and was
compassionate to the poor and a stout defender of children.
