Can I ask you what you are so afraid of?
Financial ruin?
Bankruptcy?
Being left alone, abandoned and ashamed?
Are you worried about security?
Can I ask you, in My hands, are you not in the most secure place... anywhere?
Then why are you worrying?
Let Me deal with it.
Let Me work My ways and rest knowing I will do you no harm.
Everything I do is for your own good.
Do you remember the stories of yesterday?
The Children of Israel in the wilderness?
Did I not provide for them there?
Did they starve?
Or wasn't it I Who rained down manna from Heaven to feed them?
Did Pharaoh capture them and bring them back as slaves again to Egypt?
Or did their pursuers not drown in the very same water the Children walked through the middle of on dry land?
Security is a fiery pillar by night and a tower of clouds during the day.
I was always there for them to see.
And I AM ever present in your time of need.
And even after I had rescued those people, and they forgot every miracle they had seen or tasted...
and they turned away their faces and looked at the problems ahead as though they were bigger than ME...
...I STILL never left them.
Remember the city where they marched around for seven days....
Do not forget that.
I delivered them over and over and over again.
And is Jesus not the hope and redemption of all mankind?
I will never leave you nor forsake you
Do not despair
If you will remember Who sent along boxes of clothes
and bags of food
and assorted produce in the car
and envelopes of gift certificates and money
and a can of peas that everyone ate and liked
and a ten dollar bill stuck in a rake for a Thanksgiving turkey
and a grandmother who would buy dresses for you in the summer
and Easter bunny cakes in the spring
and soda pop and your favorite cereals when you would visit
and shoes and back to school stuff when you needed it most
I provided a wide variety of people the opportunity to receive a blessing from Me
by giving unselfishly to you.
Don't focus on the negative.
The negative is around you all the time.
You have it every day.
This world lies in the lap of the evil one
but you have overcome through ME
I cannot fail.
Trust Me.
Let Me work.
I am knitting ends and edges together.
I am weaving a most marvelous work
The big picture will soon be finished
though it seems sometimes like it is taking forever
and it will have everyone in it together
trust My handiwork.
You have today.
Don't worry over tomorrow.
It is in My hands.
No matter what happens I love you dearly.
I created the universe
I hand crafted galaxies and stars and regions of space not yet explored or known
and I made the microcosms, so small things have had to be invented just to glimpse it in part
Every bit of it fearfully and wonderfully made...
...and yet...
it is you I hold in my heart
And you are the apple of My eye
Whoever touches you, touches Me
Don't lose heart
Give Me time
for all things work in timing....
and My time is always perfect.
Never too soon
Never too late
Always right when it should be
Fear not, stand still,
Fear not, stand still
and see the salvation of the Lord
