The God of Middle C

When Lloyd Douglas, author of The Robe, attended college, he lived in a boarding house. A retired, wheelchair-bound music professor resided on the first floor. Each morning Douglas would stick his head in the door of the teacher's apartment and ask the same question, "Well, what's the good news?" The old man would pick up his tuning fork, tap it on the side of the wheelchair, and say, "That's middle C! It was middle C yesterday; it will be middle C tomorrow; it will be middle C a thousand years from now. The tenor upstairs sings flat. The piano across the hall is out of tune, but, my friend, that is middle C!" Donald W. McCullough

What a great truth! Life is constantly changing. Nothing is predictable. We have no guarantees about today. The only Constant in our life is God! He is our Middle C! Unchangeable! Always present! Our Strength, Deliverer, Defender, and Strong Tower!

What kind of curve ball did life throw your way this week? Don't let it distract you! Look to God. He is never-changing, and stands by today to steady your shaking life! Thanks for the prayers. I am very tired today, but God will help me! I love you!
