Independence Day

Today is Independence Day in Zambia. A day to celebrate freedom and a future. Early this morning, I got up and went outside to get some quiet time before the rest of the team began to stir. I was standing at the edge of our compound looking over the African plain reading from Psalms 103…
Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits-who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies yur desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
And listening on my ipod to a worship song, Break Every Chain.

A promise for me. A promise for them. A promise for all of us. There is a God who rescues us. Remembering this today in a new way.
