But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day.
2 Peter 3:8 NLT
Have the day you have
no need to define it
as good or bad
happy or sad.
His work is not finished
when darkness comes
Time does not limit
what God can do.
So don’t give up
never give in
no matter the wilderness
you find yourself in.
He’s there in the moment
when life takes a turn
and dry desert winds
leave you reeling within.
Breathe in some courage
let go of despair
every second He’s present
in the day that you have.
I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, he who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is your keeper;
the Lord is your shade on your right hand.
The sun shall not strike you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all evil;
he will keep your life.
The Lord will keep
your going out and your coming in
from this time forth and forevermore.
Psalm 121 ESV
In the darkness of the ICU, these words came to my mind and quieted my soul. I pray they do the same for you.
