Platitudes just won't cut it

Platitude: "a remark or statement, especially one with a moral content, that has been used too often to be interesting or thoughtful."

If you're running your life on platitudes

You'll be nowhere near the beatitudes.

Only Christ underpinning your attitudes,

Will make the gospel count for infinitude.

As the wonderful hymn states:

On Christ the solid rock I stand

All other ground is sinking sand.

All other ground is sinking sand.

Quenching My Thirst

May 28, 2021.

Back in Nova Scotia since a few weeks, the "Hummers" are fueling up to take care of their wee, (very wee) ones. Watching them hover, wings a-fluttering at the speed of approximately 53 beats per second, it's a marvelous work of God to behold. A group of Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds is called a "Charm," and charming they are. I am mesmerized by their beauty.

Sipping at a feeder, they do not stay for very long, only taking what they need; returning time and time again throughout the day until dusk begins to fall.  Some lessons for me:

 

Drink in God's word.

 Quench my thirst all day long, from dawn to dusk.

 Apply it to my life, every   single   day.

 

"Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,

for I have put my trust in you.

Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul."

(Psalm 148:3)
