A Safe Place to Run
The Lord is a safe place to run in the midst of trouble. There's no better place to be than in the shelter of his wings, because this is the Truth: the world may fall to pieces around us, but the Lord remains unshaken.
Preach that truth to yourself today and tuck it into your heart. Say it out loud, and say it often. Remind yourself, and others, that the Lord is a refuge and fortress for the broken and afraid.
Everything else in our world may have changed overnight, but God remains the same. Run to him, and you'll find the shelter, rest, and peace that your soul so desperately needs.

But Dust
We live in a world that is constantly trying to push back the “dustiness” of our humanity, from creams for fine lines to hair dyes meant to cover those pesky grays. None of these things are evils, in and of themselves, but sometimes I wonder if we use them as a concealment to try to ignore the truth before our eyes, that we are in fact, dust.
No Time to Waste
What does it look like to make the best use of our time? We’ve only got 24 hours in the day, and most of us spend at least 6-8 of them sleeping. Work and caring for our families takes up a good chunk of the remainder, so there’s really not a lot left over when it's all said and done.
