Meditations on "Vulnerability"

"Who then can be saved?" Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible but with God all things are possible." (Matthew 19:25b-26)

When we make a choice to walk with God, choosing to follow His ways, we will not be overcome by evil.

It’s not our job to “fix anyone” but it is our God given responsibility to look with eyes of compassion and offer to lend a hand to those around us.

Troubles come, sometimes one on top of another. Pressure builds.

Ten times in just a few verses from the Bible we are told by a wise king that we should remember our creator.
