The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose is that is the path of surrender or submission.

Devotion of the Week

People are like weather reports: they change frequently and are not always reliable. Over the years the prescripton for predicting the weather has changed dramatically. Now, when weather persons make their reports it is usually in “percentages.” They are always correct because they leave room for variations in their predictions as to what may or may not happen.

God is not that way. If He declares it, we can depend on it. “Trust in Him,” said David. We have all trusted in family and friends only to be disappointed. Not that they intended to deceive us or disrupt our lives, it’s just that they are as human as we are and have the potential as well as the probability to be wrong. “People are still people,” Dean Edwards often said. “They are as human today as they were in Eden.”

Our ability to trust, however, fluctuates. It seems to come and go depending on the situation. That’s why he added “at all times.” Our trust in God is to be constant and continual, not casual and conditional. Some of us have a fair-weather faith. If we do not get the answers we want when we want them we usually rely on our own strengths and strategies and the results are usually second best rather than God’s best.

And we prove to Him that we trust in Him when we pour our hearts out to Him. It’s like emptying a jar of water by turning it upside down and letting every drop fall to the ground. We must “let go and let God” have all of our wishes and wants, our sighs and sorrows.

This week I did some-thing that I have never forgotten to do in the past. I went out to the border of my yard and pulled some weeks and what I forgot to do was something that I had learned many years ago.

I grew up on a farm and had many occasions to go out in the pasture to bring the cows in for milking, or cut out across the pasture to go to the farm pond to swim or crawdad fish and I always put powdered sulfur around my shoes to keep the chiggers out. Well, last week I went out to pull the weeds at the edge of the yard and did not remember about the

chiggers. Three nights later I woke

up in the middle of the night itching, with bites all over my legs. I then remembered the chiggers. Well, it was too late for the sulfur and I have had three sleepless nights because of the itching. After 3 pm on those night, after getting up and using the anti-itch cream again, I did get to sleep

This week I have used every thing I had for bug bites and hopefully, the fourth or fifth night is go-ing to be some better, and perhaps I will get some sleep. I do not have any powdered sulfur in my storage room but you can

bet I will always have it on hand in the summer again.

Also, in the past I have sprinkled it around the pe-rimeter of my yard because it will keep the armadillos

out. I guess it is good for a lot of other things, but I do know it will keep the chiggers away and the armadillos out of the yard. I wish I had remembered that this week.

When I had my pho-tography studio, I carried powdered sulfur in my car. I never knew when I would get a call to photo-graph an accident where I had to wade through high weeds. It sure worked good then and I was never without it in the trunk of my car.

“Clearly there were no atheists in the water that day. Gone was that dam-nable attitude of pride that deceives men into think-ing that there is no God, or if there is, they don’t need Him. When a man is confronted with death, it is the face of Almighty God he sees, not his own. We were all acutely aware of our Creator during those days and nights.” (DavidHarrell,“Out of the Depths,”XulonPress,2005,112-113).Wouldn’titbewonder-

ful if thefearofmeetingGod felt by those mencould have been bottledsothateverysooftenallofuscouldtakeadrinkofit!Whenweenduresuchcatastrophes, we oftenturntoGodinprayerandrealize our dependenceonHim for life and forall things to sustain life.

whyweforgetaboutGodand even commit sin indisobedience toHim isthat we do not have any fearofGod. InRomans3:10-18,theApostlePaullists several sins– lying,murder, cursing, deceit– all committed because“There is no fear of God

before their eyes.” Justbecause we cannot seeGodwithourfleshlyeyes,itdoesnotprovethatHedoesnotexist. Wemustnever forget that“There is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him” and that we willhavetogiveaccounttoHim.
