Psalm 1 is in Sunday’s Lectionary. It begins, “Happy are those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or take the path that sinners tread, or sit in the seat of scoffers; but their delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law they meditate day and night.” It’s great, but contrary to much experience, in the short term, anyway. Liars win. Mockery gets you friends. We take no interest in doing right.
But what we see around us is not all there is.
Meanwhile, the air is full of interesting clouds. It’s dry at the minute, but I suspect that today the weather is best viewed from indoors. I’ve already been out for a walk and a grocery shop, 13 miles in all. Janet has an outdoor meeting to come this afternoon!
God give us faith,
to keep going in easy times
and hard.
