Haiti

In light of what has happened in Haiti, I felt called to suspend the regular 10/2 Grow posting for today.

Instead I think of Psalm 46:1-3.

"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging."

As most of you know I have been to Haiti and have seen first-hand the extreme poverty of the people and the country. We are weeks away from a second mission trip, but now that trip is likely to be canceled. For Haiti to go through the horrific events of the earthquake which struck Tuesday afternoon is beyond imagination.

Rather than reading through a devotion today, I ask that you spend the 10 minutes in prayer – praying for the people of Haiti, and praying for yourself to see where the Lord might direct you in how to respond to the incredible need Haiti is in.
