By Your Side

God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.  So we will not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea.  Psalm 46:1-2


Our cable service went out last Thursday unexpectedly and it was not until Monday that we had our service restored.  It was kind of weird not to be able to watch television, but it was also a nice change of pace not to hear the foolish bickering of politicians and the constant reaffirmation that we live in a broken world, which is evident when watching reality TV or even the news. 


It is when we recognize that sin has corrupted this world that we are no longer surprised or overwhelmed by all of the troubles you see in the world.  You see, God is greater than any problem or threat that we can ever face in our lifetime.  


We must constantly ask God to stay close to us at all times.  Jesus promises us that we will face certain troubles during our lifetime, but He also promises that to always comfort us and help us when we are afraid.


Praise be to God!!
