Do Not Worry

We are living in a world that is full of turmoil. There is not much that is positive on the news. Changes are happening on every hand and we have no say over them. The bible tells us in
Philippians 4:6 "Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. If you do this, you will experience God's peace."

On another blog it asked what our favorite scripture was. The one that has stood by me for many years is Acts 17:28:a, "In Him, I live and move and have my being". I am safe in Him because He is my salvation. When I was 9 years old I asked him to forgive me of my sins and come into my heart. I have served Him a long time and He has never failed me even though I have failed Him. He is faithful and just to forgive me when I sin. I am always so aware of His presence around me and His keeping power in my life. My trust is in Him.

One of my husband's passions, since he was a young boy, was to own cows. We have several and it is birthing time here on the farm. When that calf is born that mother hovers over that little one and will protect it from anything that comes near. We also have the danger of coyotes and at night you can hear them howling ready to attack. If you go to the barnyard you will find the other cows in the pasture forming a circle around that mother and calf. It is quite amazing to watch their protection. How much more the God we serve protects, gives us peace in the midst of a dangerous changing world. "Set you minds on things above, not on earthly thing. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God" Colossians 3:2-3.
