Weekly Thought

 

E-Mail Devotional for the week of

September 5, 2010 – On the wings of an Angel!

 

Romans 8:28 – We know that all things work together for good for those who love God.   

 

I read in the newspaper the other day about a tragic accident in a neighboring town. As I read the details and circumstances surrounding this accident, I couldn’t help but think of the many members of our family and friends who have been traveling these past few weeks. I said a quick prayer for the safety of each one.

 

Accidents happen so quickly. We all have experienced the sudden turn when our life is disrupted by some catastrophic event. Many of you have also experienced ‘close calls’  - You know those times when but by the grace of God something very tragic could have happened to you or someone you love. We thank God for the ‘good luck’ that seems to have kept us out of trouble. 

 

I know that we don’t always have ‘good luck’. Sometimes tragic and terrible things can happen for no good reason. There is a tragic randomness to car accidents, wind storms, floods, and certainly for illness and disease.

 

But even in the midst of tragic accidents, there is a tremendous sense of God’s Presence walking with us, guiding and leading us, making things good for us. We thank God for the blessing of His Presence. We thank God for His angels on our shoulders helping us through the tough times of life. We thank God for his ongoing support in good times and in bad. 

 

I hope you feel God’s Presence with you this week. I know that He is walking by our side. I believe that He will take care of you. Amen. 

 

Thank You God for being there when I need you. Amen.
