Today’s image was captured near Lincoln City on the Oregon coast. It was just one of a series sea gull images that I captured that day.
Earlier this evening as I contemplated the thought-lesson that I wanted to draw from this photo, I thought of one of my good friends, a former co-worker. Last week he underwent surgery to repair a disc in his back. His recovery has been slow and painful. He is sleeping in a recliner because it is less painful that being in his bed.
I suspect that some who are reading this may also be struggling with pain in their life. I want to share the sentiment that I shared with Jim a few minutes ago. Whatever your circumstance, God is aware, and He is the Master Healer.
“He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart” (Psalm 91:4 NIV). Be open to his presence.
I pray that you sense His healing arms hovering over you.
