Royal “Light” in the Midst of Darkness


Be AWARE


The world watched as Queen Elizabeth was laid to rest this week with Jesus Christ clearly being proclaimed as her Hope and her compass. Yet, darkness was also revealed in campus ‘Drag Shows’ mocking Christians and arson attacks on churches and Christian facilities which are continuing to rise by 80% in the U.S. over the previous year. Schools are pushing porn literacy while some state school districts are revising their transgender policies in accordance with parental demands. With the recognition of “certain” domestic terrorism threats being present the  U.S. national emergency response plans continue reflected in the appointment of a new Department of Homeland Security Faith-based Security Advisory Council. Four U.S. House members call for legislation on international religious freedom as persecution escalates worldwide.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil.” Proverbs 3:5-7


Lord our God, we thank You for this wisdom to look to You and not rely on our own understanding.  You are our Maker and we are Your creation, thus we keep our eyes and ears attuned to You to lead, guide, counsel and direct us day in and day out.  Keep us in humility and reverence of You.  You lead us to straight paths. Glory to You in Jesus our Savior. AMEN
