When Our World Shakes!
"God is a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, even though
the earth be removed."
Psalm 46:1-2
Fifteen days after Haiti’s devastating earthquake,
workers found a miracle survivor, Darline Etienne.
She was pulled from the rubble barely
breathing
and hardly able to speak.
The house collapsed on her, but since she was
in the bathroom, she had access to water. That’s
what saved her life. As she was pulled from the
ruins, she weakly asked for her mother.
She was
immediately given food, medical care, and loving
assurance.
Just as an earthquake
victim eagerly
accepts rescue and the provisions of
food and clothing, we must look to
the Lord for all we need.
The psalmist said, “Behold, as the eyes of servants
look to the hand of
their masters, as the eyes of a
maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look
to the Lord our God, until He has mercy on us”
(Psalm 123:2).
God provides one blessing after another,
and His reserves are never diminished.
Trust
Him to rescue and provide for
you today.
'In the presence of Jesus there is sheer,
thrilling effervescence of life…a gloom-
encompassed Christianity is an
impossibility.'
William Barclay
