Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. — Joel 3:14 (NKJV) In 2 Corinthians 6:2 (NASB1995), God says: “At the acceptable time I listened to you, and on the day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is “the acceptable time,” behold, now is “the day of salvation” We bear the consequences for the decisions we make.

  The LORD is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy.
