An Uneasy Time, Proverbs 24

"Peace in the Storm"

Are you going through tough times? Who isn't? People are on edge. Uncertainty fills the air and something is brewing, so it seems. However, many of my friends have hope. They know that we are on this Earth, but for a short time. We haven't placed our trust in the circumstances of this world.


"My Redeemer Lives" by Nicle C. Mullen

Proverbs 24:12 - "If you falter in times of trouble, how small is your strength!"

We are living in tough times - earthquakes, fires, disease, floods, hurricanes, financial disasters, wars, threat of terrorist attacks, political and global turmoil, rampant drug use, etc. It seems that there has never been a time like this.

Received an observation by a neighbor after we realized that we were both believers and followers of Christ. He said, "If you don't believe in God, you had better in these times." Peace is not the abscence of trouble. Peace is a calm in the storm when dangerous activity is all around. Knowing that one is secure despite the calamity. Only our father in Heaven promises us an absolute peace like this.

When times get tough, what do you to to overcome? Where do you get your strength?

On Mission, On Assignment, and in the ZONE!

Oh my gosh, that song by Nicole C. Mullin is one of my all time favorites. It is based of Job 19:25 which is my favorite scripture

Job 19:25 I know that my Redeemer lives,and that in the end he will stand upon the earth. 26 And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; 27 I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another.

This is what I live for!
How my heart yearns within me
