I heard over the weekend about the barbaric attacks upon Israel but it was very briefly as bombings and military attacks. I had pressing family matters at the moment and also don't read news much online so it wasn't until I saw the paper yesterday morning that I learned more about the full extent of the aggression and the horrifying treatment of the innocent people there.
Of course, I am praying for them wholeheartedly. I also was struck by the fact that I have been reading the many laments in the psalms as I slowly work my way through them. The more things change, the more they are the same.
The psalms aren't a bad place to start when we don't have adequate words to beg God to protect the innocent and turn away evil.
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. — Psalm 46:1
