What We Need

As we begin the month of July, for some vacation time, for others "the usual", this passage from Isaiah might help puts some pep into this day and the days ahead:  "The Lord will give you the bread you need/ and the water for which you thirst./ No longer will your Teacher hide himself,/ but with your own eyes yo shall see yourTeacher,./ While from behind, a voice shall sound in your ears:/ 'This is the way; walk in it.'/ when you would turn to the right or to the left." (Is 30: 20:21).  We all have "things to do", some face continuing illnesses, pain, or stress.  A friend of mine after a six month healing process of a broken ankle, twisted his "good ankle" in a simple turn in his bathroom, and is now back to braces and ice packs. Yet, the Lord sees all of this and continues to provide the "bread we need"...not always the kind we LIKE, but what we need.  He keeps us on the right path, yes, not always the path we would choose, but the RIGHT one for each one of us AT THIS TIME.  It takes faith and trust to switch to HIS plans and paths, but in the end, we learn that indeed it "was all for the best."
