(Psalm 19:6)\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nSometimes I remind myself that God is in the heat (as I take refuge in the shade). After all, where does the heat come from? The sun, of course, and we would all whither and die without it. Just as nothing is hid from God, <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/life-advice\/3-ways-to-enjoy-the-summer-sun-safely\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nothing escapes the sun\u2019s rays.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>4)\u00a0\u00a0Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
