Teachable Tuesday by Ethan
My husband, Ethan is going to guest-star for today’s Teachable Tuesday. While I normally “teach” with random cooking/craft tips, he has some words of wisdom to impart:
The following verse gave me a great bit of joy this morning (Psalm 40:2),
“He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.”
Lately I’ve been pretty prone to frustration, even at the littlest things, and this has become very…err…frustrating. In the past couple days, though, I’ve been able to take a deep breath and put things in perspective. If I trust that God is a solid rock on which I can stand, I can get past the furstration and see the incredible life I have. I have an incredible, wonderful son, and a wife that is youthful, joyous, and endlessly supporting, and a job that, although is very tedious at times, provides for my family and is actually rewarding at times.
It is so easy to be mired down by things that happen or circumstances or just general oppression, but I believe with my whole self that we can trust God. He is the most solid rock on which we can stand, and He allows us to do so! Instead of laying down to it all, I say screw whatever’s oppressing us! There is an alternative to the tumult!
Thanks, Ethan. Also, I have to say, you’re looking pretty good with that new haircut.
