Monday December 10 ~~ Rescue Ranger God

Psalm 44      Isaiah 45.14-25    1 Thessalonians1   Matthew 14.1-12
Psaume 44    Esaie 45.14-25     1 Thessaloniciens 1  Matthieu 14.1-12
Psalmen 44   Jesaja 45.14-25    1 Thessalonicenzen 1 Mattheus 14.1-12


When I read this Psalm it was around the time of Armistice Day and so I immediately thought of the poor soldiers fighting in World War I. Is this what they were thinking and going through? Did they feel like God had abandoned them whilst they were knee-deep in the mud of Flanders and France? Did they beg for their lives or had they lost all hope and feel like a sacrifice to save the world? A more recent event that came to mind was the forest fires of California. Did the people living in those parishes also feel abandoned and demand that God should come to their rescue? We need to try and find the beauty of God in the little things. Like a story I read about the Thanksgiving celebrations in California where the pre-fire homeless people were sharing their meal with the post-fire homeless. Try today to search for the beauty of God in your daily life (sunrise, a kind word of someone, a smile on the bus …) Probeer vandaag om de schoonheid van God in jouw dagelijks leven terug te vinden (zonsopgang, een vriendelijk woord van iemand, een glimlach op de bus ...)
