Greetings,
In our last edition of News Briefs, we lauded Jordan for being the most hospitable nation (most refugees as a percentage of their population). This week I read that this region is also a place where sex trafficking is big business. CryOut reports from Lebanon that a large ring has been dismantled by security forces. (Praise God)!
So often the news reminds me of Fortunately, a favorite children’s story that starts like this:
“Fortunately, Ned was invited to a surprise party.
“Unfortunately, the party was a thousand miles away.
“Fortunately, a friend loaned Ned an airplane.
“Unfortunately, the motor exploded.
“Fortunately, there was a parachute in the airplane.
“Unfortunately, there was a hole in the parachute.”
Although much of this week’s news goes back and forth, we have this: Fortunately, God’s story ends gloriously for those who know and love him!
Say with me, “Come, Lord Jesus.”
