Anyone over 13 most likely remembers details of what happened 10 years ago today… And if not, the news media has certainly reminded us. That day changed millions of lives ~ Yet God…
God was and still is on His throne. God, who makes beauty from ashes, took anyone who would care to turn to Him after such an event, and brought healing and redemption. My husband’s father and step-mother are in Heaven this day because of turning their hearts to God after 9-11-01.
Many things will be said, remembered, shown, and predicted as we commemorate 9-11. I will record and watch the news specials with our family. It is important that we do not forget.
But even more important than not forgetting is seeking what God is doing – in our country, and in our lives – on this day and in the days to come.
Last night, I did an interesting verse study. I looked up every verse in the Scriptures whose reference was 9:11. I found quite a few I’d love to study further, but one immediately caught my eye.
Psalm 9:11
Today, many will grieve. I grieve with them over their loss, and over the general loss our nation experienced after 9-11.
But God…
In His strength today – on this anniversary of 9-11, may we (his bride, and this country founded upon His principles) act on Psalm 9:11 and
sing the praises of the Lord and proclaim among the nations of the world what He has done!
PS: As an added bit of comfort on this day, (since vengeance is the Lords, and He will not forget what His enemies have done) this is what The Message says for Psalm 9:11-12. (I can’t help but smile a bit in comfort as I read it):
Sing your songs to Zion-dwelling God,
Jennifer
