My hubby emailed me this the other day, and it came at the perfect time. How wonderful the Lord works to speak to us in our time of need, especially when we are seeking His face and the comfort and refuge in the shelter of His wings. It's been a trying few days for me, but God's holy and inerrant word tells us to:
"...count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing." (James 1:2-4 NKJV)
So I will continually seek Him. He is my refuge and my strength.
My fortress, my stronghold, and my deliverer.
My fortress, my stronghold, and my deliverer.

And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve [me] unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Reflection
Worry. Anxiety. Fear. Timidity. This is the way of the old man. Yet we, as believers, have been created anew to a heavenly life and spirit both bold and courageous. No longer need we fear at all, for in the Lord we have become so much more than conquerors! If God is for us—and He most certainly is—there is nothing to stand victorious against us. So fear not, O you redeemed, but rejoice in the mighty arm of the Lord!
