Remembering 9/11

Hello Guys and Gals,

This morning, as we remember those who were lost in that horrible attack 10 years ago, I think Psalm 18:4-15 is appropriate:

4 The cords of death encompassed me, And the torrents of ungodliness terrified me.5 The cords of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, And cried to my God for help; He heard my voice out of His temple, And my cry for help before Him came into His ears.

7 Then the earth shook and quaked; And the foundations of the mountains were trembling And were shaken, because He was angry.8 Smoke went up out of His nostrils, And fire from His mouth devoured; Coals were kindled by it.9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down With thick darkness under His feet.10 He rode upon a cherub and flew; And He sped upon the wings of the wind.11 He made darkness His hiding place, His canopy around Him, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.12 From the brightness before Him passed His thick clouds, Hailstones and coals of fire.13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, And the Most High uttered His voice, Hailstones and coals of fire.14 He sent out His arrows, and scattered them, And lightning flashes in abundance, and routed them.15 Then the channels of water appeared, And the foundations of the world were laid bare At Your rebuke, O LORD, At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.

We will have troubles and distress! Yet the Lord God Almighty loves us so much that He folds over the very heavens in his efforts to reach down to save us from these troubles and distresses! So great and awesome is the Lord God that He reaches through time and space, which cannot bar Him for He is the One who created them, in order to save us! In order to bring us comfort! In order that we can have peace in Him!

Today, as you remember, know that God is there with you this day and even that day!

Grace and peace of Jesus Christ be with you all today!
