A fool who finds wisdom is like a blind man who finds a nugget of gold, he doesn’t know what he holds in his hand.

Turn Around God is There August 13, 2025

When the sun sets

it appears to be gone,

but we know,

it isn’t really gone,

we just aren’t facing it.

It’s the same,

when we feel

abandoned by God.

He hasn’t gone anywhere,

we just

aren’t looking at Him.

In “God is Always There” S5 / E16 of I Took a Right Turn: After Robert and Rosalie give the weather report and banter about whatever is on their minds at the moment they share a few songs: God is GodWe Shall See the King and Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus.  Moving on they share one of their home-grown songs: Every Time I Turn Around.  Moving on to the Bible study they look at Psalm 139:7-12 to see that wherever we are God is there.  After this Robert reads the poem “Turn Around God is There” from his second book of poetry, Floating Through Time. Each episode this season includes a poem from this book.

The text of these readings is posted the day after the release of each episode at www.itookarighturn.com All of Robert’s more than forty books are available in paperback and kindle through Amazon. We also invite everyone to visit our online art store, The Pair a Docs Shop where we offer our original paintings, prints and merchandise.

Trying to get something for nothing or running up bills we can never pay makes as much sense as trying to walk on air.

God’s Voice August 6, 2025

We must learn

to distinguish God’s voice

from all the other voices

in the world.

For when

the shaking comes,

and it will come,

knowing His voice

and following Him

will be

the only way to safety.

The Bible

is God’s voice,

given to us in writing,

a verbalized

propositional expression

of His revelation

to humanity.

It is

our manual for living

on the planet earth.

It’s filled

with the greatest wisdom

ever revealed.

It teaches us

how humans and society

are supposed to work

and

how they really work

and

what it means to be human.

It shows us

our potential

and what causes

all our problems.

And still

as wonderful as the Bible is

it is meant to lead us to God,

not take His place.

We are called to worship,

the Lord of the Book

Not the Book of the Lord.

Only in Christ

can we learn,

what we are

and what

we are living for.
