“But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.”
Psalm 33:11
Twenty-five years ago on this date, our nation came under attack by radical terrorists. Nearly 3,000 people died that day as the World Trade Center towers crumbled, the Pentagon was attacked, and another plane crashed. Since then, thousands more have lived with the bitter consequences of that devastation. All of us know the residue of it in some way. Thus, Psalm 33:11 speaks to us.
I watched on TV as a second plane flew into the building. Immediately, alerts from law enforcement came flooding in. The rest of the week and following weeks were a blur of pastoral and chaplain assignments, offering spiritual hope and help to many.
Men and women of faith, especially public servants, were on call ministering to those with physical needs and emotional trauma. The writer of Psalm 33, an ambassador of God, offers compelling information about God’s character and compassionate love. The purposes of God’s heart through all generations are still relevant for us more than ever today. We lift high the name of Jesus. Our “hope is in his unfailing love” (v. 18).
