Bible in a Year: 2 Kings 4–6; Luke 24:36–53
As for me, I call to God, and the Lord saves me. Psalm 55:16
In Boston, Massachusetts, a plaque titled “Crossing the Bowl of Tears” remembers those who braved the Atlantic to escape death during the catastrophic Irish potato famine of the late 1840s. More than a million people died in that disaster, while another million or more abandoned home to cross the ocean, which John Boyle O’Reilly poetically called “a bowl of tears.” Driven by hunger and heartache, these travelers sought some measure of hope during desperate times.
In Psalm 55, David shares how he pursued hope. While we’re uncertain about the specifics of the threat he faced, the weight of his experience was enough to break him emotionally (vv. 4–5). His instinctive reaction was to pray, “Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest” (v. 6).
Like David, we may want to flee to safety in the midst of painful circumstances. After considering his plight, however, David chose to run to his God instead of running from his heartache, singing, “As for me, I call to God, and the Lord saves me” (v. 16).
When trouble comes, remember that the God of all comfort is able to carry you through your darkest moments and deepest fears. He promises that one day He Himself will wipe away every tear from our eyes (Revelation 21:4). Strengthened by this assurance, we can confidently trust Him with our tears now.
What causes you to want to run away? What’s your instinctive reaction when trouble comes?
Only 2 wrong. Not bad.
BTW, I left you a present on your FB home page 😁😁😁
I only missed one.

“This is to be a place veterans can come to share their stories in about as open-air an environment you’ll find on the internet. We hope to make it interactive so that veterans from the same unit, same theater, same period, can join in to keep the conversation going...”
Thank you!
You did good! Much better memory than mine. LOL! Thanks for playing!
Ouch!
Y’all paid closer attention than LUV and I did. LOL
LOL! Not so awful. It’s been a while since those shows were on TV.
Good job! Some of them were so obscure!
I don’t know about that. I guessed on a few and got a couple of them right by accident. LOL
LOL! Looks like you and I have some TV we need to re-watch.
Hope you had a good day today! Mine was. Quiet and peaceful. Except a bit breezier outside than I prefer.
I need to go feed the brat/cats. BRB.
