GOD'S SHADOW (in troubled times)
If ever there was a time to be spiritually minded and forsake the things of this world and to fix our gaze above it is now. Perhaps ironic, most of my devotional reading these days centers around spiritual matters, letting go of the earthly pulls and tugs of this world which keep us down, divorcing ourselves from the materialistic aspects of this life as we know it. "Turn thee with thy whole heart unto the Lord; and forsake this wretched world: and thy soul shall find rest."
