Yellow weather warnings prevailed in Scotland over the
weekend, with buckets of rain pouring down and flooding rivers and lochs,
closing roads and pleasing ducks and frogs.
Down south, I’m told, a yellow sun shone out of a clear sky
and raised temperatures to summer levels.
World events of every type escalate daily to yellow warning
levels, and it is so easy and natural to focus on the next startling disaster
and be swamped by the tsunami of dire news. It’s so easy to be drawn into
pessimistic assessments of where it’s all heading.
May I live south of the border mentally, emotionally, and
spiritually, Lord, focused on the trustworthiness of the Son. May I be given
the words of encouragement needed when fears are voiced, words of strength and
truth which draw attention away from events and up to You. Be my centre; be my
focus; be the light and life inspiring my days and weeks.
The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it. I put my trust
in you this day, and it is well with my soul.
