We Watch and Wait

Much of the Gulf Coast today is watching and waiting. We are watching and waiting to see where Gustav will go.

Today’s Psalm is Psalm 22 which begins:

Protect me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you.”

We along the Gulf Coast are certainly asking for the Lord’s protection, and we know that it will come. Even if the hurricane hits our particular town, we know that the Lord protects us and gives us refuge in those who serve Him, in those whose commitment to Jesus shows forth in their loves of service to others.

Even if Gustav, the unwanted guest, comes to visit is, so too will Jesus’ many disciples who will provide aid in a time of need.
