Just Two Things

I've wielded a number of complex thoughts and arguments that defend the existence and intervention of God in my day-to-day life, and in those situations I've been encountering where pain, disappointment, grief, death, loss, etc. seem to be having their way.

But those intellectual weapons don't seem to be having any noticeable effect.

So I'm lingering on a couple of simple thoughts today.

Psalm 62 says...
"One thing God has spoken,
two things have I heard:
that you, O God, are strong,
and that you, O Lord, are loving.
Surely you will reward each person
according to what he has done."

He is strong.

He is loving.

Take that Brokenness! Take that Fear, and Pain, and Hopelessness!

See if you can stand up to His love and strength, Death and Divorce! Love that went to the utmost extreme! Strength that only had to speak to form the very universe!

Just try it!
