Through the Darkness: Japan

Japan

I just wanted to write a post to say that my prayers are with Japan. It is so sad what is happening over there . . . it breaks my heart to see the damage in the pictures and videos. I can't even imagine the fright that all the people in Japan are experiencing. So many deaths and it seems the numbers just keep rising. I wish there was something I could do to at least comfort them, so I will do the only thing that I can do -- pray.

John 14:16 ~ And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever.

Psalm 9:9 ~ The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

The rainy Day

The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;It rains, and the wind is never weary;The vine still clings to the mouldering wall,But at every gust the dead leaves fall,And the day is dark and dreary.My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;It rains, and the wind is never weary;My thoughts still cling to the mouldering past,But the hopes of the youth fall thick in the blast,And the days are dark and dreary.Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;Thy fate is the common fate of all,Into each life some rain must fall,Some days must be dark and dreary.~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The Lords Way

Isaiah 55:8-11~For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Wings as Eagles

Isaiah 40:28-31~Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint.
