Psalm 69:1-23, 31-38

John 12:36-43
Psalm 69:1-23, 31-38
Some people drowned last week as Hurricane Ike flowed through their house. A thirteen foot tall wall of water came over the seawall and came crashing down on Galveston and the Bolivar Peninsula. People in the vulnerable areas had to been told to evacuate and many did. Most who stayed survived but a few did not. They drowned in a hotel, in a truck, in their house. The brown and muddy Gulf rose up and swallowed them.
Sometimes it is plain old everyday circumstances that rise up and engulf us. The pressure of life is overwhelming. The pressure to work and provide for our family; God does not seem to be there giving us the basic necessities. We call to Him for help and tire looking for the way He wants us to go. There seems to be no way out of the situation.
Grope in the darkness, one step at a time knowing that God sees the big picture.
"you who seek God, may your hearts live!"
(We may not have suffered flooding but we did lose part of the fence and hence were able to see this small flood where we have not seen water before).
