My back hurts. My shoulders hurt. The back of my arms hurt. My thighs hurt. My stomach muscles hurt. But strangely, I feel satisfied this morning. And the reason is that I went caving Saturday. I took a group of twenty-something young people and spent three hours investigating tunnels, holes, and squeezes. And the deeper that we went under Sand Mountain, the more philosophical I became. All of these complicated underground pathways are there to be explored, but most people have no idea that they are there - right under where they live and drive. I am reminded of the Lord’s goodness that gives us life every day. God sustains us, but we are mostly unaware of His powerful benevolence. Lamentations 3:22&23, “It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” May we be aware of God’s goodness today, and may we be grateful to Him, is my prayer.
