A Word of Wisdom

Surely he will never be shaken; The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance. He will not be afraid of evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.

Psalm 112:6-7

Now more than ever we need to trust in the Lord, with everything happening in the world faith is so important in these last of days. The enemy attacks us from all angles of our life and we have have to stay firm and strong in Christ.

Raise up your shields of faith to withstand all his fiery darts, be rooted in His word so that we will not be shaken by the evil that is about to come upon the land. Because the truth is that the world that we Once knew will not be the same. The Bible is fulfilling in front of us, and now more than ever trusting in the Lord and believing in His word is the most important thing in life right now. Pray and trust the Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path.

Which one are you making first? Tell us in the comments, and may your table be full and your heart be glad.
