Dwelling on High

Thought For Today - June 8
Dwelling on High
By: Robert A. Searles

You may say to me that I have my head always in the clouds, in another world, as it were. Well, why not? A child of God is provided with a private resort where he can enjoy a perpetual vacation away from the cares and troubles of the world.

"In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape. Incline thine ear unto me, and save me. Be thou my strong habitation, where unto I may continually resort: thou has given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress." Psalm 71:1-3.

At what point in our lifetime did we loose ourselves from the hand of God, and take our own life into our own hands, and worry about ourselves and our welfare?

"Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and thy honor all the day. Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.." Psalm 71: 8,9.

"But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more. My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof." Psalm 71:14,15.
