Shaddow of the Almighty

 Shadow of the Almighty
As I reflected on my memories of 911 yesterday, I remember people asking where God was on this day. The short answer is that God was right where He has always been, reigning and ruling from Most High. The truth is, long before and since that fateful day, there have been, and always will be, 911 moments in our lives. The towers of our health, wealth and emotional stability can and often do come under attack and collapse. When that occurs, we often cry out, where are you God? The answer is always the same! I am here, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand (Isa. 41:10).”
For most of the emergencies in our lives, we know help is readily available by dialing 911. But sometimes, when the towers of our lives collapse, we must seek our heavenly first responder. Sadly, many often try to navigate those monumental events in their own strength. In the heat of a crisis, we can forget our God is with us. Friends, God's protection, provision, and presence are always available when we seek Him. So, the next time a tower collapses in your life, call a different 9-1-1. Seek God's divine assistance and assurance found in Psalm 91:1. In this reassuring Psalm, often referred to as the Soldier's Psalm, we are reminded that God is our refuge. So, Never Forget, "Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty." 
Onward and Upward!
Fr. Greg+
