On the first day of Christmas, God literally gave us a miracle. We were in a single car accident Christmas night. Spun out on the road avoiding a piece of debris on the highway. Hit the guard rail ropes. All three of us are TOTALLY FINE. Car is totaled. God is awesome. But let us say this: If we had died on Thursday night, God would still be powerful, loving and awesome. We hope that our lives and our stories would have still left you convinced that God is good and worthy of your trust. Death on Thursday would have still been a happy ending in our lives full of tragedies, triumphs, mercies, and miracles. That said, we are grateful that He still has use for the three of us, that His angels (and the guard rail ropes) protected us and our precious little one, and that we can still tell of His faithfulness from this side of time. It has been quite a 2014. Psalm 34 (NIV) 1 Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelek, who drove him away, and he left. I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. 2 I will glory in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. 3 Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together. 4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. 5 Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. 6 This poor man called, and the LORD heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles. 7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. 8 Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. 9 Fear the LORD, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing. 10 The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing. 11 Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD. 12 Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, 13 keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies. 14 Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. 15 The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry; 16 but the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to blot out their name from the earth. 17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. 18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. 19 The righteous person may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all; 20 he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken. 21 Evil will slay the wicked; the foes of the righteous will be condemned. 22 The LORD will rescue his servants; no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.
