Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, 3 though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling.
Habakkuk 3:17 Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, 18 yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation. 19 GOD, the Lord, is my strength; He makes my feet like the deer’s; He makes me tread on my high places
Psalm 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 Chronicles 20:12 For we are powerless against this great horde that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.

Thanks Ron. God gives such great help during times like this that are so uncertain. 2 Corinthians 1:3 says that God is the God of all comfort. That means in all time and in all places. When I was with The Heritage Brothers, we had a song called “Don’t Be Afraid”. Steve Shepard used to introduce it by talking about all the very many places in the Bible where God says to us “don’t be afaird” or “fear not” and assures us that He is in control and is there for us.
Thanks again.
Thank you for bringing to us these great words of comfort from God. My prayer is that we will not forget His promises no matter what is going on around us and in our world.
