Friends. May 12th is a day to remember the Sichuan Earthquake that has killed thousands in Sichuan and grieved many families across China, my own family included. The earthquake has taken away so many lives so we wanted to make this day a day of remembrance of their lives which is precious to us. Do you also know that their blood is precious to God? 

Ps. 72 shows us a righteous king who defends the poor and helps the oppressed. As long as the sun rise, and moon shines, the Lord king reigns forever for his people. How did he become our king? Unless any tyrant who oppresses and threatens, he shed his own blood for his people so that they will never need to. Our king gave us righteousness and protection through his blood. I enjoy reading this Psalm. I invite you to read it with me. Be blessed.
