CONFIDENCE IN TROUBLED TIMES

READ:

He who dwells in secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty
-Psalm 91:1

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Song of Solomon 1-3
Galatians 2

Some kids love to brag about their dads. If you eavesdrop on neighborhood conversations, you will hear children saying "My dad is bigger than your dad" or "My dad is smarter than your dad!". But the best brag of all is, "My dad is stronger than your dad!" This boast is usually in the context of a warning that if kids are threatening you, they'd better beware because your dad can come and take them all down including their dads!
Believing your dad is the strongest guy on the block inspires a lot of confidence in the face of danger. This is why I love the fact that God our Father is Almighty. That means that no one can match His strength and power. Better still, it means that you and I "abide under the shadow of the Almighty" (Psalm 91:1). So, it is no wonder the Psalmist can confidently that he will not be "afraid of the terror by night, nor the arrow that flies in the day"(v.5)
Regardless of what today may bring or the trouble you are now going through, don't forget that your God is stronger than anything in your life. So, be confident!. The shadow of his all prevailing presence guarantees that His power can turn even worst situation into something good - Joe Stowell.
Father God, in the midst of my trouble, teach me to rest in the fact that You are almighty.
Thank You for the confidence I have that you are stronger than anything that threatens my life.

God is greater than our greatest problem.

A LIBERAL HEART?

Read:
, God asked the widow to feed the prophet before taking care of herself. At the end of the day, what was not enough became more than enough. To what extent do you practice giving as an individual, family, church or nation?

Those who never give will continue to beg, if you desire to...More
