Elizabeth Still Trusts in God

Did you read this article in Christianity Today about a young girl named Elizabeth?

Again–as I continue to review notes & articles that I’ve filed over the years–I was astounded by the mercy of God even in the midst of abject horror.

(Quoting excerpts from the article … “Elizabeth, a Christian teenager, was forcibly confined to a brothel, where for about $250 a man purchased the right to take away her virginity. She was held in the brothel for seven months, where she was raped by customer after customer.

Elizabeth had written on the wall of her prison in her own language: “Ps 27:1. The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?”

There were dozens more Scripture verses on the wall of Elizabeth’s cell—all written by hand, taken from the Bible she read when not being forced to serve customers. But Psalm 27—describing the psalmist’s trust in God even though “evildoers assail me to devour my flesh”—was what Elizabeth’s rescuers saw and remembered.”)

Life is hard! (WHAT an understatement.)
But God is good. (Amen!)
