This is special to me given the earthquakes we had here in Trinidad last Friday. A 6.0 and a 5.5 within hours of each other. I expected my grandmother's 30 yr old home to collapse. It didn't...it didn't even crack. We have structural damage to the building at work...but my grandmother's home is solid. She and her care taker prayed through the earthquake and I believe that God's hand protected and kept them.
Later that night a song kept coming to mind and it brought me so much peace and joy. God placed a song in my heart to remind me that it'll be alright. He's always there.
I go to the Rock of my Salvation
I go to the Stone that the builders rejected
I run to the mountain and the mountain stands by me
When the earth all around me is sinking sand
On Christ, the solid rock I stand
When I need a shelter, When I need a friend,
I go to the Rock
So glad to read this today...waht a witness to our god...This is special to me given the earthquakes we had here in Trinidad last Friday. A 6.0 and a 5.5 within hours of each other.

"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn,
to console those who mourn in Zion,
to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning,
the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord,
that He may be glorified."
Isaiah 61:1-3
We used to sing these verses...think I will again.

Amen dear sister...Great is our God, and greatly to be praised!God Bless you both for your encouragement! I appreciate that pic Kim!Thank you! And Angelwind...keep singing those verses because I realise that God's Word really does speak to us deep inside and at moments where we're convinced we'll fall apart or be overtaken by fear...those seeds of peace and comfort that were sown through hearing and reading and singing the Word take root and anchor us with faith.
What a testimony of God's mercy and greatness and above all His faithfulness to those who trust in Him!
Great is our God and greatly to be praised!
