God is wonderful.

Was reading about the Haiti earthquake survivor - a man who spent 11 days buried in the ruins of a hotel grocery store. He spent his time praying, reciting psalms and sleeping. He was not afraid because he knew people were searching and would come for him.  From his hospital bed after being rescued, the first thing he want to do was to find a church and give thanks to God. Wonderful miracle.

CNN news.
Port-au-Prince, Haiti (CNN) -- French rescue workers pulled a 24-year-old man alive from the rubble of a hotel in Haiti on Saturday, 11 days after an earthquake devastated much of the country.

Wismond Jean-Pierre, who had no visible injuries but was severely dehydrated, was immediately loaded into an ambulance and taken to a hospital for treatment.
Lt. Col. Christophe Renou, a rescuer with the French team, called the three-hour effort "a miracle" as he was briefly overcome with emotion. Other members of the team -- assisted by American and Greek workers -- were seen weeping with joy following the rescue.
"This is God," Frank Louvier, the chief of the French rescue team, said as he pointed to the sky.

My favourite Psalm.
The Lord is my shepherd...

King James Version (KJV)
Psalm 23:1-6
1.) The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2.) He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3.) He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4.) Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5.) Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6.) Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
