Most the Western
world has been bitterly shocked
by the recent
attacks on key buildings
in New York &
Washington.
For now, the perpetrators remain a matter of
conjecture, and given the relative ease with which the atrocities were
performed any fanatic group might be responsible.
The numbers, killed, injured and lost are still only
guesswork, and our thoughts go to the many thousands more whose lives are
now transformed by the loss of loved ones or the need to give permanent
care to the maimed.
For so many thousands is this a dark and lonely
hour.
But, this
morning my attention was turned to Psalm 139.
The writer
realises that God never loses sight of us.
If I say, Surely
the darkness
will hide me & the light become night around me,
even the
darkness will not be dark to You;
the night will
shine like the day, for darkness is as light to You.
In the darkest
moments we encounter,
Such as this
recent disaster,
God sees us
And He will meet
us with a light by which to walk.
Let us know your need and we will pray for you. |
