When I am afraid, I will trust in God

Morning: Psalm 56, 57; Isaiah 51:17-23; Galatians 4:1-11
Evening: Psalm 64, 65; Mark 7:24-37
Muslim Canadians were attacked and killed during prayers in a Quebec mosque last night. Violence comes from fear of strangers; if we respond with fear, fear wins and violence escalates.  But Psalm 56 prays: “In God I trust; I will not be afraid.”  Jesus, as he embraced his mission, healed the foreigners he met.  We, Jesus’ disciples, seek healing and solidarity with one another, and today especially with our Muslim neighbours. Let us “walk before God in the light of life,” and not be afraid.
