Episode 32

Last weekend my pastor preached while standing between two tall pillars. The one on the left side of the platform was labeled “Goodness” and the other “Control”. He said we experience God’s peace when we dwell between those two pillars. When we rest in the knowledge that God is good and God is in control, then we can trust Him to take care of us. When we cannot control our circumstances, trusting in God’s goodness and surrendering to God’s control keeps us from being anxious. My desire to dwell peacefully between the pillars of God’s goodness and control inspired my choice of Scripture for today’s episode. The summer is winding down and students are preparing to go back to school.
