Today is day 2 of the renewal of the Russian air assault against Ukraine.

Over a hundred attacks in the last 36 hours have killed dozens, injured hundreds, and caused some to head west.

The difference is that no one is really surprised, the people have shelters ready to go to and their collective spirit of unity against the Russian terrorists seems to be strengthening.

But there is one development to which you can be a part of the solution.

Temporary housing.

A number of folks in the southeast are fleeing the occupying aggressors whose record of atrocities is well documented.

They are headed west into safer space inside Ukraine.

Our partners are ready and able to help them with a warm bed, hot food and basic needs.

YOU can help us keep helping them.

Please pray.

It is another day, a day in which we have choices to make. May we trust and glorify God! He empowers us to choose to live!

Don’t let your day be defined by your circumstances.

“O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands.” Psalm‬ ‭63:1-4‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the one who trusts in you!” Ps. 84:11-12‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him. And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself anymore, but your eyes shall see your Teacher. And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left. Then you will defile your carved idols overlaid with silver and your gold-plated metal images. You will scatter them as unclean things. You will say to them, “Be gone!””
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭30:18, 20-22‬ ‭ESV‬‬

May we cast out our idols of control and superiority.
