HABAKKUK 3:18 (ABP)
Even if the world around me falls apart, I'll continue to find joy and gladness in GOD, because he saves me from the forces of chaos.
LUKE 15:20 (MSG)
When he was still a long way off, his father saw him. His heart pounding, he ran out, embraced him, and kissed him.
THE ESSENCE
God is passionate about saving us in the midst of our troubles.
DAILY FODDER
For some reason, God doesn't always spare us from the forces of chaos and trouble, but he chooses to save us out of those circumstances. Take heart. You know what to expect when difficulty comes at you.
PRAYER
Glorious God, thank you for sending your Son into the world to release us from the grasp of sin. You are our Savior! Forgive me for allowing discouragment to take over when trouble comes, as though l don't already have an eternal champion on my side. Wrap me in your embrace and help me to realize the security of your kiss. I know that even if the chaos is of my own doing, you are still here for me as a welcoming Savior. Amen.
