Psalm 130:1-2
Out of the depths I have cried to You, O LORD; Lord, hear my voice! Let Your ears be attentive To the voice of my supplications.
Greetings Bible Enthusiast!
There is nothing like pain to get our attention focused back towards God. Often, when things are going right, it is easy to forget about our need for a savior! Let things get our of kilter, however, and our need leads us back to Him!
God Bless You!

TODAY'S BIT OF WISDOM/REFLECTION:
Pain insists on being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains; it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.

FEATURED FUNNY:
I had moved to the south from New York, and at that time a vehicle inspection was required to register my car. I was nervous; my car was in rough shape. I thought of New York State's rigorous inspections. Any number of problems might turn up that would be expensive to fix. I drove down a country road and found a garage that had an inspection sign. When I told the mechanic what I needed, he circled the car, turned on the lights and honked the horn. Then he attached a new sticker and asked me for the three-dollar fee.
I was shocked. "Is that all you have to do?" I asked.
He answered, "Well, you drove it here, didn't you?"
