Turning up the Heat

Well, there's no question that summer is in full swing!  These long, hot days bring life to our long-awaited gardens and allow for vacations, lazy mornings, bike rides, and camping trips.  And don't forget VBS, swimming lessons, sleepovers and all the kids activities!

Many are also experiencing increased stress this summer over the current economic situation or are looking for a job. Some are busy finding news ways to save money and manage a budget on a reduced income.  Some are grieving the loss of a loved one, a broken relationship, a difficult situation, or a painful past.  There are so many stresses in this life.

Mandisa's song, "The Voice of a Savior" reminds us that we all have a God-given void that only He can fill. He is our strong tower and our portion.  Only He can fill the void inour life.  He is our strength in weakness and our joy in sadness and trials.  How are you trying to fill the void in your life?

I said to myself, "The Lord is my portion therefore I will wait for him."
The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; 
it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.  Lamentations 3:24-27
