It’s hard to believe the destruction that has taken place on our soil… in New York, Pennsylvania and in Washington, DC… my heart goes out to the families/friends who lost loved ones, to those continuing the search, to those being searched for, and to our whole country as we will prayerfully watch these next days and months unfold…
As I opened my Bible this week, I turned to the book of Psalms… Psalm 23 came to mind… it was one of the first scriptures that I learned as a child… “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want… especially verse 4… even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death… I will fear no evil for thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff… they comfort me”… I feel reassured by these words …… I know that the only thing I can count on is God’s love covering me… and Christ’s presence redeeming me… and the Holy Spirit sustaining and comforting me… I pray that we will be able to lean on our faith, friends and family as we trust that God will be with us… today and everyday.
