<\/a>I guess this is okay. I\u2019m stocked up with food, I am warm and have electricity, I have plenty to do around the house, there\u2019s always Bible study and prayer and of course, spending time with my hubby. Holed up in the house is an okay thing today.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Now that my family and friends across the country know that we aren\u2019t buried in a foot of snow, I can think about what I really want to talk about this morning.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the small Book of Nahum, there\u2019s a beautiful verse, a reminder for each of us to cling to when we face turmoil, struggle or disappointment. These are words to memorize, place in your heart and believe whole-heartedly.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him\u2026\u201d<\/em> (Nahum 1:7 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This book goes on to share what was going to happen to Nineveh for their rejection of God. God\u2019s plan was to destroy this city. Jonah was sent to give the message of its destruction. And in the end, the people of Nineveh repented and turned to God. They placed their trust in Him. They recalled God\u2019s goodness. They believed He was their refuge. They knew God could deliver them from their times of trouble.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Do you turn to God when you\u2019re facing trouble? Is He your refuge? Do you trust that God cares for you? Do you trust Him?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When the storms of this life threaten, who is it that you turn to? When trouble is looming, in whom do you trust? When uncertainty is knocking at your door, who is your refuge?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For all of these questions, I pray that your answer is God. I pray that you know that God is the One who cares the most, is able to do the most, and who is willing to provide all that you need when you need it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n No snow now, but that may change as the day goes on. But regardless of what the weather is doing outside, I know that I have the peace of God inside. I pray that you do as well.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Donna<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" No snow in my neighborhood\u2026yet.
