A breath of hope in the midst of chaos. A ray of sunshine in the midst of the gloom. These are the things promised to those who love the LORD and stand strong on His promises. We have no need to tremble in fear, be dismayed or grumble and complain. He who formed us from the dust of the ground, He who knows when we rise and when we lie down. He who holds our future in the palm of His hand has everything under control....His control. He will not relinquish that control to another. Many will try to seize control and all who do will stumble and fail in their attempt. 

There is coming upon our nation much that will stretch us to the limit of our faith and resolve to stand strong. Many things we will not understand, many tests, many trails, many heartaches....but we must remain determined to finish the race set before us. We must determine within ourselves that regardless of how bad it may become, our God has been and will continue to be faithful. We must never doubt His love, question His faithfulness or demand to know the why of it all. As a child of the King we must faithfully stand in the midst of uncertainty.  

'My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame but wholly lean on Jesus' Name. On Christ the solid rock I stand all other ground is sinking sand.' Edward Mote/1834  

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6
