February 4 – Don’t Laugh—Have Some
Respect for the Lord
So I will laugh when you are in trouble! I
will mock you when disaster overtakes you-- when calamity overtakes you like a
storm, when disaster engulfs you like a cyclone, and anguish and distress
overwhelm you. When they cry for help, I will not answer. Though they anxiously
search for me, they will not find me. For they hated knowledge and chose not to
fear the LORD. They rejected my advice and paid no attention when I corrected
them. Proverbs 1:26-30
Oh my! Don’t laugh. I’m in trouble here—so sick
that I haven’t been out of bed in two days. I totally lost Wednesday. This wasn’t
a cyclone or a tornado—although I feel like I’ve been through one. Wiped out—blown
away. The time to respect the Lord is…NOW. CONSTANTLY…ALWAYS AND FOREVER. Don’t wait
until you have a disaster in your life to start praying and relying on the
Lord. Start today—whether in rainy or sunny wherever you are. Solomon wrote great
words of advice—we need to take them to heart.
Prayer
~Lord God, I have the utmost of respect for You and want to honor You in all
that I think, say and do. You are worthy of praise. I treasure Your knowledge
and wisdom.
