                                “You're Safe!”
Psalm 130:7
O Israel, hope in the LORD, for with the LORD
there is mercy and with Him is abundant redemption.  (NKJ)

     Just as the people of Israel found hope, mercy, and redemption in the Lord God, so too, can every person who walks upon this earth.   The only true hope that we have is found only in our Lord God and Savior, Jesus Christ.  The Lord's mercy never changes and His unfailing love for us remains the same, regardless of our rebellious past and in spite of future failures.  The Lord's gift of forgiveness and salvation is for everyone.  This cruel and unforgiving world is relentless in battering its people into submission and destroying their lives.  But it doesn’t have to be this way, because our sovereign God is always searching for those who are in need of His sovereign help, especially those who humbly admit their need for forgiveness and redemption. 
     If you want to experience any real peace or joy in this life, you must first know the Truth about the One who created you and the life He created you to live, because it's the Truth that will set you free from the deadly power of sin and your fear of the unknown.  When you live in the Way of God's Truth, you will have a lasting purpose that is safely in the protection of God.  Since the day death entered into our world because of sin, this life has been just one storm after another, never knowing when they will strike or what damage they will do.  Many people view these storms as punishment from God, and in some cases they very well may be, but most of them are simply the consequences of living in a fallen world and making bad choices.  But with God guiding the Way, you will get through the storms and be stronger and wiser and better prepared for the next one knowing you are safe.

                                            A Whisper of Hope
Your life is safely in My Hands, dear child…You need not worry about the storms of today, nor should you live in fear of the storms of tomorrow.  For when you trust Me, the victory will indeed be yours!  When you allow Me to walk you through the storms that can destroy you, you will not only find the best way to survive them, but you will benefit richly from them as well.  My Hope is sure, My mercy is perfect, and My Redemption is priceless.

Isaiah 49:26
“All the world will know that I, the LORD,
am your Savior and Redeemer, the Mighty
One of Israel.”  (NLT)


         Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
                                (Hebrews 13:8)
