"Ground Zero...Ground Grace!"
"Ground Zero"--a phrase that's become part of our late-breaking vocabulary, and the only way we can find words to describe the horrible place of destruction in New York City and in Washington, D.C. Our hearts broke as we watched workers sifting through the rubble looking for more survivors and more miracles in the awful mess...brought about by the deliberate madness of man...and underwritten by the prince of the underworld, Satan himself!
But a remarkable thing happened at Ground Zero...volunteer workers, churches, charitable organizations suddenly appeared on the scene, asking, "Can we help?" "What can we do?" Little girls made cookies for the volunteers...people in the neighborhood brought coffee to the workers, churches set up food and clothing centers...we saw GRACE at Ground Zero, underwritten by the Prince of Heaven, Jesus Christ Himself!
And Ground Grace comes to YOU today, in the midst of YOUR Ground Zero...for Jesus Himself has said, "Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." So is THIS the end of the world? Only God knows--but we need not worry for our lives are in His hands--He is still Lord; He still reigns, EVEN at Ground Zero.
Fighting fear, anxiety, uneasiness, anger, frustration...all the negatives of the enemy that pull you down, all the way down, to Ground Zero?? Then it's time to LOOK UP--for
wherever there's a Ground Zero that ABASES, there's a Ground Grace that ABOUNDS. The God of all Grace is with you when you're at your lowest point--He wants to lift you up, to help you see what's going on from HIS perspective. It's all is under His watchful eye--and His unlimited, all-empowering, never-failing, immeasurable GRACE is yours today!
...and that's just a thought or two from my heart to yours!

"Lord, I'm at Ground Zero today--not just in the nation or world where I live--but right in my own PERSONAL world. I've hit bottom as the devil pounds me with despair, discouragement, distress--but I will NOT know DEFEAT because Lord, at my Ground Zero, I'm going to find YOUR Ground Grace...and it IS all-sufficient for me this day, In Jesus' Name, Amen."
