My best friend Nathan (also a church organist) was involved in a serious mountain biking accident this past weekend. We are so very thankful that his life was spared, although he suffered quite some extensive injuries that will take a considerable amount of time to heal.
At times like these we are reminded of how fragile life is, but at the same time we are comforted with the knowledge that God's care is eternal:
4. All evil strikes at you in vain;
the LORD will keep your life
secure in woes and strife.
When you go out, when you come in,
the LORD will fail you never
but keep you safe forever.
Text taken from the Book of Praise, Anglo-Genevan Psalter.
