The Courage of Our Conviction

It is not easy to step out in faith.  God has told us though, that we are not to fear, that He is with us.  We stand in the last days, where many will be lost as Satan and his world come against the Living God.  Let us be a light to the truth.   

Whatever I see, whatever I hear, I trust nothing unless it can be found in scripture.   His Word is there to strengthen us, to protect us and to shelter us from evil.   Sweet antidotes and sayings are found everywhere in social media, and amongst the people, loosening the boundaries of evil in the name of love.  If we, who stand by the Lord, cannot speak the truth, then where will our children and their children look when they seek the truth.   If we cannot stand on the Word of God, against the evil in our land, then how can our children, when those in authority teach them otherwise.

Our days are numbered, let's make the remaining days for the saving of others.

An Exuberant Declaration of Faith

A Psalm of David.

27 The Lord is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?
When the wicked came against me
To eat up my flesh,
My enemies and foes,
They stumbled and fell.
Though an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me,
In this I will be confident.
One thing I have desired of the Lord,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple.
For in the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall set me high upon a rock.
And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me;
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.
Hear, O Lordwhen I cry with my voice!
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
When You said, “Seek My face,”
My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”
Do not hide Your face from me;
Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;
Do not leave me nor forsake me,
O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me,
Then the Lord will take care of me.
11 Teach me Your way, O Lord,
And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.
12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
For false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence.
13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.
14 Wait on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!
