Christ in Lebanon

In the heart of Lebanon, Christians and many others face the terror of missile strikes and deep uncertainty. Bishop Elie Haddad, alongside other church leaders like Bishop Georges Iskandar and Bishop Charbel Abdallah, bear witness to the immense suffering and displacement of thousands. In these moments, Psalms 91:4 reminds us that God is a refuge and protector, even in the direst circumstances. As these leaders embody Christ's presence, offering shelter and support, they reflect God's unwavering faithfulness amidst chaos. Let us draw strength from their resilience and the eternal reassurance of God's protective grace.

The psalmist's assurance of God as a protector who covers His people with feathers, offering refuge under His wings, speaks profoundly to those in crisis. This imagery of divine shelter was deeply significant in a time when physical safety was constantly threatened by nature and human conflicts. Today, it echoes powerfully for those in Lebanon, offering a spiritual haven in the midst of physical danger.

Even in the shadow of missiles, God's faithfulness remains an unbreakable shield.

How can you actively trust God as your refuge in times of personal or global turmoil?

Reach out to a humanitarian organization working in Lebanon and consider supporting their efforts to provide relief and shelter to those displaced by the conflict.

Lord, we lift up the people of Lebanon, especially the Christians facing the fear and destruction wrought by missiles and war. May they find refuge under Your wings as promised in Psalms 91:4. Strengthen the church leaders as they minister and provide shelter, embodying Your love and faithfulness.
