So many heart-wrenching episodes happened over the last 2 weeks. First, it was Alex - the guy who got knocked down by the cabby. Then it was the 2 PCGs who died in line of duty. And the latest shocking news of the massacre in US.
It's scary how vulnerable life is. It's scary how the "now you see it, now you don't" situation can happen to human lives!!
But, thank God for Jesus. Thank God that because of Jesus, I can rest in knowing that my loved ones are protected. Here's a prayer for all the precious lives around me.
Psalm 91
Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust."
Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
And from the perilous pestilence.
He shall cover you with His feathers,
nd under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your sheild and buckler.
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked/
Because you have made the Lord,
who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your habitation,
No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
They shall bear you up in their hands,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
Because he has set his love upon
Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he
has known My name.
He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honour him.
With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.
