He Promised

The Lord is my light and my salvation - 

so why should I be afraid?

The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger,

so why should I tremble?

      (Psalm 27:1, NLT)  

When times are tough, whether we're facing financial strain, emotional turmoil, or difficulty in relationships, God's desire is that we would be confident in His protection and provision.  

When we're paying over $3.50 for a gallon of gas, when the housing market is tumbling, when there is uncertainty, war and famine in every corner of the world, when the things we are expecting are slow in coming, when the difficulties of everyday life threaten to strain our relationships to the breaking point: THAT'S the time.  

"That's the time for what", you ask?  That's the time to take a deep breath (count to five if you have to) and remember that God is our light in the darkest place, our shelter from the storms of life, our protection from those who mean to do us harm, and the One who knows just where we are, when we feel like we are lost.  

Each Sunday for the rest of the month, in our new series LOST, we're going to go eyeball to eyeball with the worst the world has to throw at us, and see that God is still God in EVERY situation.  Not some situations...EVERY situation.  And God has PROMISED his guidance and protection not just in the best of times, but in the worst of times as well.  

Invite someone to love this weekend!
