day no. 16,040: disaster and denouement

For every Hydra, there’s a Hercules;

For every Grendel, there's a Geat;

For every dragon, there’s a George;

For every giant, there’s a Jack;

And for every Nephilim, there’s a Noah.

Where God permits monsters, He raises up men to end them.

Psalm 74:12-17

Yet God my King is from of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth. You divided the sea by your might; you broke the heads of the sea monsters on the waters. You crushed the heads of Leviathan; you gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness. You split open springs and brooks; you dried up ever-flowing streams. Yours is the day, yours also the night; you have established the heavenly lights and the sun. You have fixed all the boundaries of the earth; you have made summer and winter.

For every night, He brings a day;

For every winter, a summer;

For every tension, a resolution;

For every disaster, a denouement;

And for every catastrophe, a Eucharist.
