Scripture reading
The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped.
–Psalm 28:7
Thought of the Day
Anniversaries are a mixed bag. Some are good; some are not so good. September 11th is one of those not so good as we remember that hard day two years ago. I shared with you the following quote in the thought of the day after the terrorist attacks in 2001. A priest from war torn Sarajevo wrote this back in 1993.
Jesus teaches us that human judgments are not the last judgments, that human justice is not the last justice, and that the power that humans exercise over one another is not the final power.
Never forget the words from this priest or from the psalmist who wrote our scripture for today.
Prayer
Lord, Let Your love and comfort be spread over all those hurting today. Amen.
