This morning I woke up to several text messages. Some were sent last night after I was in bed. Others came early this morning. Some of them came from family. Some of them were from veterans that I have been blessed to work with the last few years. I\u2019m always humbled by what they send me. Some of the ones that I received ones have varied from thanking us for supporting them, to showing me photos of items for the banquet, and to a link of a video about a former Navy SEAL finding faith. Pretty awesome stuff. I\u2019m so thankful that they feel close enough to me to share these with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the video of the Navy SEAL, he talks about searching for answers to his questions in various places. Astrology. History of the world. Science. And more. He was in a bad place trying to figure out how to best handle his thoughts. Let\u2019s just say, he wasn\u2019t finding what he was looking for. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I\u2019m sure it does. I can relate to this. The good news is that he kept looking. And ultimately he found Jesus. And with Jesus, he found the answer to every question that he has ever had. And I say that he has found the answer to every question that he is ever going to have as well. That\u2019s pretty powerful. Especially in the world we live in today. The mess that we live in. Does anything make any sense anymore? Sometimes it\u2019s hard to say yes to that question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bible tells us how to handle what it is we\u2019re facing. It tells us how to handle the mess that we are in. It tells us to trust the Lord with all of our heart. And that might be the best advice we would ever get. Because it\u2019s hard to know who to trust now. Different media stations offering different opinions. Different politicians offering different solutions. Different this. Different that. Who\u2019s right? Who\u2019s wrong? That is so hard to determine. Today let\u2019s cry to God for wisdom. Let\u2019s cry to God for strength. Let\u2019s cry to God for the Holy Spirit to move in us. We may not be able to change the climate of the world. But we can change the climate around us if we do this. Let\u2019s lean on God. Let him take control of our hearts. Just as the Navy SEAL did. And let\u2019s watch the peace and the hope that we receive change our lives. Because Jesus is the answer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
