I have reached into the archives for today’s Greeting because it seems apropos for the present time.

“The LORD is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the defense of my life;
Whom shall I dread?”  Psalm 27:1

God is in control!  Can there be four more comforting words than these?  The world situation is a volatile one right now and many are very fearful.
As Christians we have such a wonderful assurance in those four words.  Our God is faithful; His word is sure!

“Know therefore that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His lovingkindness to a thousandth generation…”
Deuteronomy 7:9

“God is faithful, through whom you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.”  1 Corinthians 1:9

“But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.”    2 Thessalonians 3:3

Ours is the unchanging God, therefore, our trust and confidence is in Him to keep that which belongs to Him.  When fears or concerns threaten to overwhelm us we need only to look to the Lord and be comforted for His Word is faithful and true!

“The works of His hands are truth and justice;
All His precepts are sure,
They are upheld forever and ever;
They are performed in truth and uprightness.”  Psalm 111:7-8

“The LORD is good,
A stronghold in the day of trouble,
And He knows those who take refuge in Him.”  Nahum 1:7

“But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You.
Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend [protect, cover] them.;
Let those also who love Your name be joyful in You.”  Psalm 5:11

“Trust in the LORD forever,
For in God the LORD, we have an everlasting Rock.”  Isaiah 24:4

Therefore, it is in the Lord alone that we forever place our trust.  As Psalm 118:8 says,
“It is better to take refuge in the LORD
Than to trust man.”  And we do!!

Our rest and freedom from fear is in our Lord and Savior!  He tells us in Matthew 11:29,
“Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”  

Let your anxious heart be at rest.  GOD IS IN CONTROL!  Hallelujah!
Amen
