him in her words and gave him much needed touch. He was just as faithful in putting a stranger in my path to embrace me in my moment of mourning when I was in the depths of despair. The Lord can use us on earth to express His love by prompting the heart of another to demonstrate compassion. Grant and I were both fortunate to receive the aid of first responders; however, the Lord is my ultimate responder. His faithfulness is shown by placing people in our paths to demonstrate His love at our greatest time of need.
Grounding Scripture – Isaiah 41:10 “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous hand.”
Prayer – Lord, I am thankful for the ability to remember the first responders which You put in my life. I recognize Your faithfulness in the hugs, encouraging words and love that I have received from others. I affirm that You are my ultimate responder and I give you all the glory. AMEN
