All we have seen this week is a cloudy sky with off and on severe rain and, in some places, even golfball sized hail. The weatherman has been pretty close in predicting the right kind of weather. People are planning to go on holidays, maybe even thinking of camping and enjoying the beautiful outdoors. However, wind, rain and thunder can spoil anyone’s holidays.

The gardeners saw their lettuce shredded and their tomatoes broken off. Some of the fields with ripening grain were also damaged.

What if we go to the library and find some good books to read? We can live and dream in a world of make believe or read about some mystery and how it is solved.

Many of us have a Bible at home. We can read wherever we are. I start my day with reading a portion of Scripture and then read the everyday application. It helps to start the day.

God told Joshua to not let the Book of the Law (the Bible) depart from his mouth, but to meditate (study) in it day and night (Joshua 1:8).

Let us not forget our Bible when we go on holidays this summer.
