Afghanistan. Haiti. Delta Variant. Tropical Storms. Fires. These are just the events making headlines. Countless personal tragedies have also touched all of our lives over the last couple of years. These circumstances certainly rock our world and throw us off-kilter, and understandably so. In light of the chaos, how can we ever find peace? Our bodies and souls need to settle into a peace that transcends all understanding, yet peace seems to elude us. I wish I were more like Louie in this area. As you watch this video of him, think of the peaceful and tranquil moment he is relishing at the time of this recording. Why? He seems to know he cannot do much about the craziness that happens beyond his own backyard, but he trusts that his master (me 😉 has everything in control. I provide all that he needs when he needs it. He finds great comfort in knowing this, and that brings him peace. I profess to trust my Master, God, and I say I believe all things are in his control. But there are times when my faith is a bit shaky. And those are the times when peace eludes me. Be like Louie—make sure your peace is rooted in a firm foundation. |
