"September 11, 2001, is a date that will be long remembered as a day of unimaginable horror when terrorists struck at the heart of the whole world. People from more than 80 nations were killed in an unprecedented attack aimed at the United States of America.
"The immediate reaction of millions of eyewitnesses to this tragic event was to call on God for deliverance. Many calls were made to 911 that day. Which brings us to a favorite portion of Scripture. Someone has called it our "air-raid shelter." Many times our crisis requires divine assistance. When that happens, we can call a different kind of 9-1-1 in Psalm 91:1 - 'For He orders His angels to protect you whever you go.' There we find the help and protection of our Almighty God. This verse reminds us that God is our "shelter" and that we can rest in His shadow.
"So let us raise our voices together in prayer today for our nation, that God will guard and keep us and make all things work together for our good, according to His promises of Psalm 91.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - "God has not promised to keep us from life's storms, but to keep us through them."
