Our pastor used an analogy a few years ago that has really stuck in my head. He put two chairs next to each other. One a sturdy four-legged comfortable looking chair, the other a ragged and torn mess with a leg missing. He then asked the question, which one should you trust? As you look at the two, one which can hold you for sure, the other with the duct tape on the legs looks as if it couldn’t hold a child let alone an adult.
The question that day was, do you know what you are putting your hope in? It is my question today. A quick look at the news this morning showed me trouble all over the world, and some not so far away which is creating feelings of stress and anxiety. Some are looking to our government to fix the problem, some are looking for the rich or even more for the world to come together and mend the human race.
To me, these look like the wobbly chair. I know of only one hope which can change the hearts of evil men, and like the pastor told me that day, He is the sturdy chair in which I can rest!
