Drug-induced meditation....

5/9/11.....is actually possible. I'm not talking about the 60s type LSD drugs here. Just pain meds (following a molar extraction) that make one "take to the bed" and be loopy. Maybe they've even had a greater effect because of the depressing, disheartening events of last week. Watching loved ones suffer has certainly upped the despair meter in my heart. It's painful.

But God....in the middle of my own "minor" pain, brought one of my favorite Psalms to mind and verses that I needed came back and bedside meditation was possible.

• ⁵For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle; In the secret place of His tent He will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.
• ¹³I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living.
• ¹⁴Wait for the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD. (Psalm 27, selected, NASB)

Drug-induced. God's word heals. It's the best medicine.
