(2 Thessalonians 3:3 AMP) In 2 Chronicles 20:15, the LORD told His people: “Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.” ...thanks be to God, who keeps giving us the victory through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah!

He does not change. (See Malachi 3:6) Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6) He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (Hebrews 13:8) Isaiah 33:6 (VOICE) says: God will be what holds things together, fast and firm during these times. King David said this about him: ‘I see that the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. No wonder my heart is glad, and my tongue shouts his praises! My body rests in hope. (Acts 2:25-26 NLT) The Presence of the LORD is with you too.

I will give you hope and a good future. — Jeremiah 29:11 (EXB) God made a promise of restoration to the Israelites before they were about to go into 70 years of slavery (Jeremiah 29:10).

And He will be the security and stability of your times, a treasure of salvation, wisdom and knowledge; The fear of the LORD is your treasure. — Isaiah 33:6 (AMP) What tumultuous times of natural disasters, social indifference and government insecurity.

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” — Isaiah 43:18-19 (NIV) Many of us seek security in doing things the way we have always done them, but God is doing a new thing. Instead of trying to keep Him in the box of what He did yesterday, let God be the Lord of our lives and expect Him to do a new thing, something we have never seen before. We don't need to figure everything out on our own, we just need to walk in the way the LORD directs us to. Even though you don’t see the whole journey mapped out before you, be confident that God is making a way to get you from where you are today to the land He promised you.

The LORD answered, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you peace.” — Exodus 33:14 (GW) Dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of your life and experience His deep abiding peace, which surpasses all understanding, and guards your heart and mind through Christ Jesus. Draw near to the LORD daily, and enjoy the abundant peace and security found only in His Presence!

I will bless the LORD who has counseled me; Indeed, my mind instructs me in the night. I have set the LORD continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Psalm 16:7-8 (NAS) As we keep our eyes on the LORD, we receive His wise counsel. He reveals truth to us. As we stick with the LORD He strengthens us and we do not allow our circumstance to sway us back and forth. Instead we anchor our soul in the LORD and His mighty hand keeps us stable and secure. Amen. Love, Jackie
