Betty, you're covered!

2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

In May 1995, Randy Reid, a 34-year-old construction worker, was welding on top of a nearly completed water tower outside Chicago. According to writer Melissa Ramsdell, Reid unhooked his safety gear to reach for some pipes when a metal cage slipped and bumped the scaffolding he stood on. The scaffolding tipped and Reid lost his balance. He fell 110 feet, landing face down on a pile of dirt, just missing rocks and construction debris. A fellow worker called 911 and when paramedics arrived, they found Reid conscious and even moving about. As paramedics carried him on a backboard to the ambulance, Reid had one request: "Don't drop me."

Sometimes we can be like that construction worker. God can protect us from harm in a 110-foot fall, but we still get nervous about three-foot heights! The same God who saved us from hell and death can protect us from all the smaller dangers we face this week!

Betty, let's give our anxieties to the Lord today. He has our back!

Your family in the Lord with much agape love,

George, Rivka and Elianna Whitten
Jerusalem, Israel

I really liked that story [Smile]

Amazing how God can get us through the hugest of problems but it's the smaller ones we seem to get hung up on [Wink]
