ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHING
July 14, 2021

Scripture
: Psalm 34:34 (the Message)
God met me more than halfway, and freed me from my anxious fears.

Thought for the Day
: I remember a cartoon strip depicting a mother holding a plunger in her hand, standing in ankle deep water, as she is gazing at an overflowing toilet. Her son sticks his head into the bathroom and says two words, “They’re here!” The memory of the cartoon still makes me laugh, and I think part of what makes it funny is how I found myself nodding with understanding. I may not have experienced that specific scenario, but I know the feelings of frustration. I know the anxiety in a time of stress. It is those moments that require a God who is willing to meet us more than half way. God’s presence isn’t necessarily going to change the scenario, as in the case of the overflowing toilet as the company arrives, but that presence brings some gracious sanity to what otherwise would have been a complete emotional derailment.

Prayer
: O Gracious God, in those moments when I’m standing in ankle deep whatever, your concern feels like genuine compassion. Thank you! Amen.
