“I will love You, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.” Psalms 18:1-3
LORD our Everlasting Almighty God, glory to You as we again meet with You through Jesus who is our Advocate and Mediator, our Risen, Living Savior. We enter into Your gates with thanksgiving that these truths are preserved for us for all our days. We decree our strength is from You, our deliverance from You, our trust is in You. We are most blessed to embrace our salvation from You and our reliance as we call upon You again and again. Yes as the song goes: You are worthy to be praised! Standing on Your promise to save us from our enemies. LORD, receive our love for You above all we can bring. AMEN

Sometimes news items can be daunting and used by our enemy to get our hopes down. Yes, by the numbers the persecution against us is higher than other religious groups and higher than it has ever been. But be of good cheer for we have a hope that the rest of the world does not have! We know we win the fight and we know we live eternally with Him! Be prepared with the confidence of that fact, united in our stand of faith, and share openly for it wont be long until we are all together with Him!
