Interesting ways,
By partying on the beach ignoring the
Threat,
Hanging on to every bit of news, listening
In fear,
Spewing anger and casting blame,
Quoting poets or looking inward for
Strength.
But I notice that the followers of
Jesus share lots of Bible verses.
I do.
It's how I cope.
I can't ignore the crisis, or give in to
Fear, or find strength in myself.
I'm a wimp and need a strong
Savior.
This verse bolstered me this
Morning: "These things I have spoken
To you, that in Me you may have peace.
In the world you will have tribulation;
But be of good cheer, I have overcome
The world." *
I repeat these words of Jesus.
I ponder them.
And I must believe them.
*John 16:33
