You know...I've been at work today and I am just in complete shock of what is going on in Haiti right now. This is a country where the majority of the citizens live off of $2 a day (sometimes that's per family). And my heart is just hurting for them. My heart is especially hurting for those who don't know the Lord or for those who are searching for Him. It's times during tragedy that people begin to doubt our Heavenly Father and I have to rest in the fact that all things, good and bad, work out for the glory of the Lord. Sometimes it's hard to remember that God is close by when tragedy strikes, but what does the word say? Look back to Psalms where David talks about how no matter where he goes the Lord is also there. The Lord is also with us even in our darkest days and He is waiting and hoping that we turn and run into His arms.
So what are you deciding to do? My advice...run to our Heavenly Father for love and comfort especially times of darkness. There is no darkness to our Father.
It's days like today that I remember to count my blessings. I will sit and pray tonight for those who are hurting and for those who are far from the Lord.
