We read in Proverbs 14:26, “In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.”  Here we are reminded that as we learn of the Lord, we can walk through the circumstance of our lives because we dwell in a powerful confidence that the Lord will do what He says He will do.  This provides for us a place to go when we feel afraid or concerned regarding our plight in life.  What a great God we have that will enable us to find rest in the midst of the storms of life.  What a great God we have who watches and waits with us as we walk through the circumstances that seem overwhelming.  May we learn to rest in His strength when we are weak.… READ MORE
