I've been busy off and on the last few days....getting ready for the craft show and such plus the normal household duties.....we've been watching Fox news about every night with all the turmoil of the election and Wall street...phew! Do you feel like I do?
I've also been on the Etsy forums...many have expressed high anxiety, anxiety attacks, and nervousness...there is a group of atheists in the forums who I feel really sorry about...they are so belligerent against Christians and make fun to anyone with faith.... they act like elitists and look down on everyone else. and yet they quake with fear.....
The times we live in....
Psalm 46
God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.
Selah
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Selah
Come and see the works of the LORD,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.
He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth;
he breaks the bow and shatters the spear,
he burns the shields with fire.
"Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Even more so, we should be reading the Word every day and be in prayer..so many are lost and blinded by the the world...living in spiritual darkness and despair....during these dark days..let our lights shine wherever we are...let the Lord use us for His glory ......Be at peace, God is in control....
Dani - it is such a blessing to have sisters in the faith who blog about the comfort available to God's family. One of the blogs I read did an excellent posting this week - http://cedarpond.blogspot.com/2008/10/duck-sky-is-falling.html
ReplyDeleteThe sky definitely isn't falling! Bless you friend - we know how the story ends because we have BOTH read the book - (the good book - not some wall street gurus!)
Dani, what a powerful message! There is such strengthening in our hearts when we read the Word, and I have been especially uplifted by Psalms in the past months, which have been difficult ones for us. You may have noticed on my blog that I post a different Psalm every few days, as well as having the "Words of Jesus" on there too, which changes each day.
ReplyDeleteThe troubles this Nation faces right now are indeed worrisome, but we need to trust the Lord to get us through it. Thanks for posting such a great message!
Thanks, too, for sending me that link about the Noah's Ark when you commented on my blog. God bless you and yours--
Take care,
Marie
Wonderful post, Dani... and thanks for posting the scripture, too... we all need to be reminded daily of what our God can do!!
ReplyDeleteAmen, Dani!!!
