God lives and works today, but can we
really experience his goodness today in the face
of our degenerating society?
Today's meditation by Basilia Schlenk gives a helpful
word to these questions.
We live today in a time like none
before.
The world is moving rapidly towards a peak
of technological development.
In all fields, man is grasping after the
tools of power and control.
Yet, at the same time, we're running towards
unimaginable catastrophe.
A fear and a horror of that which
is coming has, perhaps to some extent unconsciously,
laid its grip on mankind.
Mankind stands in the face of a future
with no answer.
What or who will be there to help
when catastrophe strikes?
Scientists and statesmen have given no answer.
Yet, for Christians, the dark night of the
future is lit by a brilliant star, the
goodness of God the Father.
Father of goodness, of goodness, Father of goodness,
We praise with a cherubim and seraphim, God
is but goodness, God is but goodness, But
goodness, but goodness alone.
And all his heart full of goodness great,
Yea, God is goodness, yea, God is goodness,
goodness alone.
Father of goodness, of goodness, Father of goodness,
In the midst of a fear-ridden age,
a strangely contrasting word belongs to the Christian.
Rejoice in the Lord always.
Yes, rejoice.
Here and now in the atomic age, you
who believe in a living God, who is
a Father to us, in our Lord Jesus.
For in our time, God, as a true
Father, will show us his help and his
wonders as never before, if we call out
to him in deep need, put our trust
in him, and in prayer actually reckon upon
his help.
For he stands ready to help those who
believe in his love, who truly count upon
his almighty power, who truly reckon that he
still works miracles today.
In the day of catastrophe, he can protect
us.
When we truly reckon with his almighty God,
the Father of love, then in the midst
of fear we can know strength and peace.
Therefore start now to trust him as a
small child.
Trust him today.
Count on his power and help today, and
you will experience it.
Heavenly Father, I'm thy child.
Tell me, is there anything in the world
more blessed?
How can trouble, hurt, or harm while I
rest within God's arm?
God esteems me precious.
