Our safety in times of trouble…
The name of the Lord is a STRONG TOWER; The righteous runs into it and is safe. Proverbs 18:10
Every trial and difficult has the potential to expose what we really believe in and WHO/ what we are putting our trust in.
Where do we run in times of trouble?
Is the Lord OUR strong tower? Is His name a place (fortress) we can run to when we are in great distress, fearful or wearied?
Some boast in chariots, and some in horses; But WE will BOAST in the name of the Lord, our God! Ps. 20:7
To “BOAST” means “to have trust in or confidence”.
I’m seeking to KNOW this God who has saved me. I’m seeking to KNOW who He is by the names He calls Himself in Scripture.
God says if we call upon Him in the day of trouble that He will deliver us and then we shall glorify Him. Ps. 50:15
I’m calling upon my God today.
The God who is near. Emmanuel… my God is with me!

I’ve heard of John MacArthur, but I’m not familiar with his teachings. Is he non-denom?
Hi. Thanks for visiting my site. The author of that book says she is a Christian but I don’t think she’s evangelical. She mentions having grown up in Lutheran church.
Your site looks very good. Someday when I have more time I will have to read over some of your previous posts.
Thanks for posting this. So true and so comforting!
Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks so much for the reminder of where to turn to in troubles. It is so encouraging to run to Jesus, with faith as a child, and He will gladly wrap His arms around us with love. Have a great day.
Hi again. I saw your post on someone else’s site about wanting to share the gospel with Spanish speakers. One thing I would suggest is getting a Bible that has both English and Spanish. Then you can look up scripture verses in the English and point them out on the parallel page in Spanish.
Thank you for your sweet comment and prayers…
I love your site!

I love these scriptures and I love when people who have the gift of putting scripture to music do it because it really helps me to lear scripture. Scripture brings peace for me because I am reminded of WHO is in control. Blessings to you Georgene!

“Every trial and difficult has the potential to expose what we really believe in and WHO/ what we are putting our trust in.” LOVE IT!!!! Let’s all expose ourselves to the truth, shall we? Thanks! Beth
