Monday’s Devotion: Stormy Weather

Psalm 55:7-9  I would flee far away and stay in the desert; I would hurry to my place of shelter, far from the tempest and storm.”

During a GMA segment this morning on staying safe from hurricane Sandy a guest says that in events like this the communities that fare best are the ones in which people look after each other.  They followed that with advice to check on the homebound elderly to make sure they had supplies in place.  I thought that advice goes even beyond times of natural disaster.  Communities and individuals all fare better when people look out for one another.  What do you have in place to offer help to others in times of trial?  Are you willing to do that?

Holy God, as you care for us and calm the storms of our lives help us to reach out to others.  We pray for your guidance, strength and comfort so that we may be able to care for ourselves and then be the strong hands and feet of Christ reaching out to the world.  We pray this in Christ’s name. Amen.

Have a blessed week,
Paige
