Detonation…explosion…shrapnel…all words that I know by definition, but hopefully never get to experience in reality. This was not the case, however, for a grandson of one of the members at Union Hill today. While serving his country, a mine detonated under his right leg. The ensuing explosion caused his right leg to be amputated and his left leg to be filled with shrapnel. He is now on his way to a hospital in Germany for further rehabilitation and prosthesis. Our prayers are with the York and Stevenson families.
Never do we know what a day will bring…or to what end it may come. The probabilities are endless no matter how much we think that we know. This goes to prove that our foundation (at all times) must be grounded in things not seen, for how can we hope in what is seen? (Romans 8:24). God holds the future in His hand, and that means that our reaction to any present situation must be seen through His eyes. This way, whether rich or poor…whether healthy or sick…our foundation remains constant and secure in the Lord. We must learn to trust in Providential care over physical ability.
