Abba God, You are a God of great love. I stayed home today with our sick beagle not because I don't love You but because I do love that dog AND my DH, who had cleaned diarrhea out of the dog crate two mornings! I am grateful for livestreamed worship services that help me to "be" there.
One heartbreaking bit of information shared at church but which I had already learned about was the fatal shooting at Worcester State University! It could be paralyzing to decide to stay away from every place where something might happen, because something might happen ANYWHERE. How, how do Your people live and love in freedom and peace in such a dangerous world? I know that You are the ultimate Protector; in fact, ,it seems that You have more than one name that reflects Your protective role and nature (El Elohim, Magen, Jehovah-Nissi).
So, I will trust in Your protection not only for me but also for my beloved ones--my daughters, their men, my DH, my extended family. Otherwise, Abba, I might never leave this home again, and even then, there is no guaranteed safety anywhere but under Your wing.
I will go start supper! Thank You for this chance to be home on a Sunday.
