Good Morning, God,
The headlines hardly mentioned it, yet they are the ones that encourage us to "be immunized," to "get our flu shots" as the influenza season approaches as sure as winter will follow the fall. This year, we are told, that there is plenty of serum to go around and that the H1N1 variety is already included with the normal, usual strains present in the vaccine. So, we are encouraged to get a little bit of the flu strain from a shot, in order to kick start our immune system to fight against the stronger, full-blown strain.
Creator God, we praise you because we are fearfully and wonderfully made. You know us full well; so well, in fact, that not a hair from our head may fall without your knowledge. You hem us in. You go before us; you are behind us. if we turn to the right our to the left, we run into you. Where can we go and not be able to be with you? Such knowledge is too wonderful for us; we can hardly imagine it!
Lord, may we rely on the knowledge of your constant presence and abiding love to protect us from all the influenzas of life, even as we rely on vaccines to protect us from just the flu.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
