Message for this time

Rev. Ross Collette, who has been a friend of mine for many years, sent this message out and it was so pertinent to this time I wanted to share it with you.

With the nation and the world in a state of economic distress, one of the number one prayer requests I receive is for finances. Many are saying things have never been so bad, this nation is in big trouble and is going to fall. Whether or not this nation falls, these things I know to be true: There have been worse times, in this country and in the history of this world. The other thing I know for sure is those who put their trust in the Lord are never forsaken. That the Word of the Lord is true, and God has always been able to bless and take care of his people no matter where they were or the circumstances surrounding them. GOD IS ABLE! There is nothing too hard for God, so "FEAR NOT, STAND STILL, AND SEE THE SALVATION OF THE LORD!"

While many think the devil is control, I believe GOD IS IN CONTROL. Many times throughout the Old Testament, God brought about circumstances to turn the hearts of men back onto him, and God always took care of and kept those whose hearts never turned from Him. Just as God kept Daniel, God will keep you.

I want to build you up and encourage you in the Lord. I want to steer your focus away from circumstances and get you to focus on Jesus. Just as Peter walked on the water because he focused on the word of Jesus, but began to sink when he focused on the wind and the waves. Until he cried out to the Lord, "Save me". Of course Jesus did save Peter, and said "O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?"

Our God is awesome and none to compare him to. Never ever doubt that God can and will take care of you!

Rev. Ross Collette
