Hope of the Nation

by

On September 11, 2001, Satan attacked the United States. On September 11, 2001, our Lord claimed victory once again.

A child kissed his mother this morning.
“I love you,” she whispered in his ear.
A husband hugged his wife this morning.
“I’ll be home at five,” he promised.
A boss praised his workers this morning.
“Great job,” he said with a nod.
A waitress served breakfast this morning.
“Have a good day,” she smiled.

Flames filled the sky this morning.
An orphan stared, uncomprehending.
Chaos gripped the world this morning.
A widow cried out in anguish.
Towers crumbled to dust this morning.
Livelihoods vanished in the ash.
Fear toppled joy this morning.
Time stood still in its wake.

God reached down His hand this morning.
“I love you,” he whispered to His children.
God opened wide His arms this morning.
“I was, I am, I always will be,” He promised.
God welcomed home His soldiers this morning.
“I am pleased,” He said with a smile.
Jesus hung on the cross this morning.
“You believed, and you are saved,” He comforted.

About Life as a Christian Woman

Life as a Christian Woman explores Biblical truths as they apply to modern faith and the vital roles we can play in the body of Christ. Some topics are easy, such as Christ died for our sins. Others, like divorce, single parenthood, work, and submission to our spouses are more challenging. Then there are days we just need a good laugh with God. Together, we can learn practical faith in an impractical world.
