God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
(Psalm 46.1 NRSV)

Theodore H. White, Pulitzer Prize-winning expert on American politics, coined a new word. Someone asked him about the effect of television on politicians. White answered, "Politicians remind me of a certain variety of plant--the kind that grow under porches and other places where the sun doesn't penetrate. Botanists call these plants Heliotropic, meaning that as they grow, they bend in the direction of the sun. Well, politicians today are what I call Videotropic. As they grow, they follow the camera because that's where the votes are."

If I might build on that analogy, you and I are here because we are Theotropic--that is, we are drawn irresistibly in the direction of God. In God is our help and our strength. We gather in our church each Lord's day to acknowledge that He is our hope and the foundation of our lives.

Dear God, you are my help and strength. In Jesus name, Amen.
