A Reality Post
It’s a fact: I’m overwhelmed right now. I’m trying to grade a few hundred speeches virtually, and along with my household and church duties, I am just overrun. I’ve missed a couple of days of posting Thriving in Exile, and I don’t have anything for you this morning other than to say that I am thinking about all of you, and I am posting a Scripture that I hope will help you cope. Here’s hoping I can get something together for you tomorrow.
The Lord is a safe place for the oppressed—
a safe place in difficult times.
Those who know your name trust you
because you have not abandoned
any who seek you, Lord.Sing praises to the Lord, who lives in Zion!
Proclaim his mighty acts among all people!
Because the one who avenges bloodshed
remembers those who suffer;
the Lord hasn’t forgotten their cries for help. (Psalm 9:9-12, CEB)
Peace.
