You shall preserve me from trouble;
You shall surround me with songs of deliverance.
—Psalm 32:7 (NKJV)
I read Psalm 32 this morning before reading this (which is why I chose to read Psalm 32):
Flying into a storm is a dangerous experience. The temptation is to fly by your instincts, or, as aviators say, “by the seat of your pants.” But as any pilot will tell you, that’s a prescription for disaster. If you rely on your feelings and instincts, you become disoriented….
We all face storms that threaten to confuse and disorient us. […] When you are blinded by life’s disappointments, don’t trust your instincts. Flying by the seat of your pants in the storms of life can lead to despair, confusion, and vengeful responses that make matters worse.
Read the rest: Instincts
I need that. Do you?
