We Need Jesus More Than Ever

There are so many things happening in our world these days that "shake" us.  Things that undermine our security and sense of well being.  Things that bring fear to our hearts.  Things that rob us of peace.  Things that make us concerned for the future.  Just listening to or reading the news each day requires a lot of courage.  We live in a world that needs the love of Jesus more than ever.

In times like these, we need to hold onto the Rock, our Lord Jesus, more than ever.  We need to trust Him, knowing that He is at work and has a plan for our world.  No matter how bad things look or how shaken we are, we can rest in Him.  He is watching over us.  He is near to us, and He is working in our lives.

I have several friends going through really difficult things.  This is the reassurance for them and for all of us.  He loves us, He is mindful of every situation we're facing, and He is at work to help us.  His love and care for us is unfailing - even if we can't see it clearly in our hard situation.

" 'Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,' says the Lord, who has compassion on you."  Isaiah 54:10

He is unshakeable!!!

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."  Philippians 4:6,7

"Though youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly, yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary."  Isaiah 40:30, 31 NASB

"My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me."  Psalm 63:8

"The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms."  Deuteronomy 33:27

"Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge."  Psalm 62:8

I can't make it through even one day without the Lord's grace, strength, and help.  He is available 24/7 to hear my cry for help.  He is with me, even carrying me, in each thing I'm facing.  I'm so grateful to Him!
