Philadelphia: High school students walk out of class and march to City Hall to protest severe budget cuts and planned school closings, May 9, 2013.

The budget cuts are absolutely horrific. Here are some of the proposed changes:

  • Schools with more than 1,000 students would no longer be required to have librarians or librarian assistants.
  • Schools would no longer be required to have counselors, and counselors’ caseloads would no longer be capped.
  • Teachers could be assigned to unlimited classes outside their subject area, and high school teachers could be assigned an extra class without pay.  There would be no limit on amount of consecutive time taught in a school day.
  • There would be no limit on class size
  • The district would no longer be required to provide copy machines, or “a sufficient number of instructional materials and textbooks.”
  • Counselors would no longer be guaranteed to have rooms with privacy and confidentiality, a telephone, a locked filing cabinet and a door.

The race was in London, but the thoughts of many were with another city.Thousands of runners who took part in the London Marathon on Sunday paid tribute to those killed and injured in the Boston Marathon six days earlier. Participants paused for a moment of silence in the beginning, many wore black ribbons on their chests as a sign of solidarity, and two runners finished carrying a banner that read “For Boston.”The mood was festive, defiant — and the surging crowds who turned out on the glorious spring day to line the route roared enthusiastically.“It means that runners are stronger than bombers,” said Valerie Bloomfield, a 40-year-old participant from France.

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1, NIV)

God is always with you. That means He is present at all times, continually, perpetually, throughout all time. In your day of trouble, He promises to be a help to you. How is He your help? “Help” means something different to each person. That’s because “help” is specific to your need. If you need money to pay your bills, a chocolate cake isn’t going to be much help! But we serve a God who is very specific. And because He is always with you, He always knows exactly what you need and is always ready to provide it!

Today, are you facing trouble or adversity? Know that God is with you. Look to Him for help. Trust that He has the answer, and that He is working things out in your favor. As you continue to believe Him and follow His direction, He will lead you in the way that you should go. He will comfort you, revive you, restore you and bless you! He will be your ever-present help because He is forever faithful to His Word!
