The scripture for today, September 27 (9/27), is Nehemiah 9:27 as found in the Old Testament of the Bible:
With many people, the only time we think about God is when we feel oppressed by something or someone in our life. We may even blame God.
That can be a good thing. Perhaps we hadn’t given God a second thought since our last calamity. So now, at last, we’re thinking about him. Yes, we may be angry at God, but at least we’re thinking about him.
Let us thank God for times of oppression. Sometimes that is what it takes for God to get our attention. Then perhaps God can show us that he wants to be our friend.
