Turning on the television this morning, once again we hear of terror attacks on people attempting to travel in Belgium.

It happens too often!

I am including two inspirational thoughts written by Corrie ten Boom in her "Each New Day" book. Evil people doing evil things are nothing new! The ten Boom family were imprisoned in a camp for aiding Jews to avoid the Nazi regime. Corrie's dad and sister died there.

But not Corrie! After her release, she could not be stopped from telling others about God's love and protection her entire life, including while in the camp:

You're Surrounded!

"I stood in the Moscow customs office, my suitcase full of Russian Bibles I was smuggling into the country. I saw how the officers ransacked every suitcase, and I was afraid.

"I said, 'Lord, you have said in the Bible that you watch over your Word to perform it. The Bibles in my suitcase are your Word, Lord. Watch over the Bibles.'

"At that moment I saw light beings around my suitcase. They must have been angels. It is the only time I have seen angels. I can't describe them, for the moment I saw them, they disappeared. But so did my fears!

"Are (angels) not all ministering spirits sent forth to serve, for the sake of those who are to obtain salvation?"

~ Hebrews 1:14 RSV

"Thank you, Lord, that those who are with us are more in number and stronger than those who are against us. Hallelujah!"

He Will See You through Even Customs!

"When I was there in Moscow, my suitcase was the last to receive the attention of the Russian customs officer. 'Is this your suitcase, lady?' he asked.

"'Yes.'

"'It is a heavy one!'

"'Yes.'

"He looked around. 'Wait. I am done with my work. I can help you carry it to the Intourist car.' He picked up the heavy suitcase and carried it to the car for me, never looking inside, How I rejoiced!

"He has said, 'I will never fail you nor forsake you.' Hence we can confidently say, 'The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid; what can man do to me?'

~ Hebrews 13:5-6 RSV

"Lord, give me the strength and wisdom to refuse to allow myself to be controlled by a difficult situation. I know that even the hairs on my head are numbered."
