Still In Gods Hands
October 9, 2012
During my first year of seminary, I listened as a new friend described her life. Abandoned by her husband, she was raising two small children alone. Earning just over minimum wage, she had little chance of escaping the poverty and dangers she described in her neighborhood.
As a father, I was moved by her concern for her children, and asked, How do you handle all of this? She seemed surprised by my question and replied, We are doing all we can do, and I must leave them in Gods hands. Her trust in God in the midst of trials reminded me of Jobs trust (1:6-22).
A year later, she phoned and asked if I would come be with her at the funeral home. Her son had been killed in a drive-by shooting. I asked God for words to comfort her and for the wisdom not to try to explain the unexplainable.
Standing with her that day, however, I marveled as again and again she comforted othersher confidence in God unshaken by this terrible blow. Turning to me as we parted, her final words were a poignant reminder of the depth of her faith: My boy is still in Gods hands. Like Job, she did not sin nor charge God with wrong(v.22).
We too can develop an unshakable faith by daily walking with the Lord.
O the peace I find in Jesus,
Peace no power on earth can shake,
Peace that makes the Lord so precious,
Peace that none from me can take. Beck
Nothing can shake those who are secure in Gods hands.
Read: Job 1:13-22

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN SISTER!
Sgt. Donna R. Johnson, USA, 514th Military Police Company, 60th Troop Command, KIA Afghanistan 1Oct2012
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)
God Of Our Fathers
Rest in Peace, fallen sister, rest in peace! We who remain hold you in high honor. Rest, fallen sister, in this sacred precinct; We who remain keep this place sacred. Rest, fallen sister, among these, your comrades; We who remain keep the watch. Rest, fallen sister, among these who answered the Nations call; We who remain press the fight forward in your name. Rest, fallen sister, lay down thy burden; We who remain have taken up the torch. Rest in Peace, fallen sister, rest in eternal peace!
