“Call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you.” Psalm 50:15

Many of us have known the horror of Satan’s attacks on our children. In her book, “He’s Been Faithful,” Carol Cymbala shares the following challenge.
“If we are going to fight, our battle can only be won through prayer. We must draw closer than ever to God, believing in his faithfulness. Psalm 50:15 is not empty words, but a clear promise from Almighty God. Throughout the struggle, however long or short it may last; we will certainly be attacked by confusion. We will be tempted to give up. But just as God gave me the grace to stay, even when I wanted to run, he will give you the grace to do whatever it takes to fight for your children. In ways you cannot possibly imagine, God will use the very attack of Satan on your children’s lives to accomplish great things for his Glory. Don’t let the circumstances fool you. Don’t let your faith be shaken. God’s love is so powerful it can touch any heart, even the heart that seems impossibly far from him.” (p. 145)
Thought for the week: “Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.”
Funny for the week: Meanderthals
MEANDERTHALS /me-AN-dur-thols/ noun: aimless, slow-walking pedestrians who mindlessly get in everyone else's way on sidewalks, stores, in malls, and crosswalks, often while preoccupied with a cell phone.
And the world is hopeless infected with them now……….. Chaplain Barnes
