Isaiah 26:12 (NIV)
12 Lord, you establish peace for us; all that
we have accomplished you have done for us.
Only a few years ago children were delighted at the prospect
of a trip to the wharves to see the great ships come in. Today they are blasé
about helicopters and jet planes. We who once marveled at the telegraph now
take for granted the far greater miracle of television. Not so long ago many of
the physical diseases were termed hopeless and incurable. Today we have drugs
so effective that age-old diseases are becoming rare. We have accomplished
much, of that there is no doubt. But with all this progress, we have not solved
the basic problem of the human race. We can build the highest buildings, the
fastest ships, the longest bridges—but we still can’t govern ourselves, or live
together peacefully and with equality.
Thought for today:
Am I truly connected to God?
