Haiti Relief Efforts

Please do continue to pray for those whose lives have been turned upside down by the disaster in Haiti.  One theme that I see over and over in the Bible is how God’s heart beats for the poor, the marginalized, and those who suffer from injustice.  I read a quote in Richard Stearn’s book entitled The Hole in Our Gospel that may stir your heart and cause you to pause and think more deeply about such things and such people.  The quote listed at the beginning of chapter fourteen in his book reads:

“Sometimes I would like to ask God why He allows poverty, suffering, and injustice when He could do something about it.”  
“Well, why don’t you ask Him?”
  “Because I’m afraid He would ask  me the same question.”

May our hearts begin to beat in rhythm with God’s heart as we invest time in prayer this week for those whom God deeply loves that are experiencing life in poverty, suffering and injustice today.  As we invest time in prayer and in God’s presence, may we then do whatever God leads us to do by His Holy Spirit and in accordance with His Word.
