In a weary world, we see around us violence, dysfunctional families, war, addictions, and hopelessness. We deeply yearn for peace, love, compassion, kindness, and joy. We need the hand of God sending us a gift of daily miracles, perhaps an unexpected kindness from someone, a sense that an angel has come to take our hand and guide us, or finding ourselves in the right place at the right time to make a difference for someone else. That heavenly touch brings a feeling of peace in the midst of chaos.
We take heart in the promise of Psalm 91, verse 11 that says ""God has set His angels over you and charged them to guard you in all your ways. In their hands they will bear you up, 'lest you dash your foot against a stone."" We confidently expect everyday miracles, we anticipate help, and we absolutely CAN send out our 911 to heaven!
