***The Devastation***
Yesterday, I watched the latest news on Hurricane Katrina and the mess it has made of not only the houses, businesses and landscape, but also the mess it has made out of the people who are from the areas that it demolished. My heart cries out for those families. I don't usually get teary over the news, but my gosh, I wanted to just start bawling! My heart literally ached for those people. But ya know what? We are the children of a Father who loves and cares for us and cares for all of those people. They will rebuild their homes, their stores, their lives...and hopefully they will flood to the Lord as he is our strength in times of trouble. He is the rock that we can stand firm on and no flood, no storm, no hurricane can ever take that from us. My prayer for those people is that they begin to see that they can shout out to the Lord and he will hear them. This storm was not caused by him. Many people have and will blame him, but the truth his, he restores that which was broken, he wouldn't break it just to fix it. Ok, I know this sounds like I'm preaching to ya....but the truth is....this sort of thing just gets me fired up for God.
I highly recommend that you purchase the CD "God He Reigns" by Hillsong...the song "Yours is the Kingdom" is great!! made me feel like I was back in Oklahoma in church just praising God all out! Man I really needed that...anywho, I know this was a random blog...but it's just what all is on my mind today. Alright, tomorrow will be full of exciting things I'm sure!!! =) Loves! -Lacey
Isaiah 53:4-6:
4 Surely he took up our infirmaties and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
