Default Re: Daily Devotional; formerly Chaplains Corner

The cousin of my immediate supervisor dropped dead on the job last Thursday. Stark illustration of what you just said. She is heavily involved with her church and her cousin's 13-year-old son is attending some good ministry in the area. We're talking about it quite a bit at work and I'm providing a few resources for her to pass on.

The Irish have a habit of saying they will do this, or that will happen d.v. (Deo Volente). The Americans have translated and modified it slightly to "Lord willing and the creek don't rise."

I like Psalm 31:14-16, especially 15.
14 But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord,
I say, “You are my God.”
15 My times are in Your hand;
Deliver me from the hand of my enemies and from those who persecute me.
16 Make Your face to shine upon Your servant;
Save me in Your lovingkindness.

Thanks again, Terry.
