My dad received this picture the other day from a friend. Imagine this. Remember the miracle that happened not to long ago on the Hudson River? The one where 150 lives were saved by landing safely with calm waters in the midst of a roaring city of New York; the city we will never forget has now shown the Hand of God, the Hope of the Lord. The winds were calm that day...unusual in the winter for New York. Let me just remind you, as a disciple, a eucharist, a follower, a learner, in Christ... there is Hope. There is a refuge. A safe place. A shelter from the storm. When chaos is swarming around you "Be still, and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10) because we aren't the pilots. We aren't behind the steering wheel of our lives. Rick Warren puts it this way: "Put Jesus Christ in the driver's seat of your life and take your hands off the steering wheel. Don't be afraid, nothing under His control can ever be out of control". Amen.
Look at this picture and rest assured that He is our Guardian. He will not slumber. He is guarding us now, and He is guarding us always. (Psalm 121 MSG)
You always amaze me. I read what you write and I wonder how does such Godly wisdom come from someone so young.
