Work harder. Work smarter. Work faster.
It's the mantra of our nation.
But the message of the bible is this:
"God's pleasure is not in the legs of a man."
Is our default, our "go-to" plan to dig in and drive hard?
Is our direction to make sure we do our part? What are we saying?
His delight is not in the strength of the horse nor in the legs of the owner.
Psalm 147:10.
Put not your trust in leadership, in a son of man.
Psalm 146:3.
Put your trust in God Alone.
The LORD
He heals the brokenhearted 147:3
And in the same sentence, he counts the stars.
This is a truly amazing God!
He binds up my wounds.
He lifts up the humble.
He sends his word to earth,
His Word runs swiftly. 147:15
He sends out His Word and melts them. 147:18
The Word thaws my frozen heart &

melts my fears into tears of repentance.
The stirrings were so stopped up and galatial.
Not able to give good pondering of what matters!
The thawing changed everything; melted by Swift Grace.

"The axe of Biblical Love thaws the frozen parts" (66LL) in all our frozen hearts. Oh! Father, melt us through Your Swift Word running home. Would You send Your Word this day! Thaw these frozen hearts of ours. So slow thaw. Melt us through.
PHOTO: Frozen hearts as solid as Mount Rainier. The snow can't last forever; our frozen hearts can. Melt me today.
Happy Father's Day. May it be one where we truly ponder what will not budge because it is so chilly within. Soften all our hearts, dads and moms and kids. May we honor well our fathers who have given so much of those melted pieces of their hearts. Give honor to whom honor is due.
