“No harm…no plague will come near…” We read these words and we immediately think of harm or illnesses that have befallen us. Yes, in this sinful world, there will hardships. Our bodies will suffer and break down. But that doesn’t mean we’ve been abandoned. On the contrary! If we are…

There is a wonderful assurance in these words that those who love God are secure. A strong clue for this promise is found is the word LORD. Whenever the word is found in all caps, then we know we’re talking about Yahweh, the Covenant God, the One who will not…

It might seem as if wrong goes unchallenged and evil wins, but as Christians, we know better. We KNOW that Jesus is already victorious. We KNOW that God is mightier than any of His created beings. God the Father gives free will—He offers every soul the opportunity to walk in…

HYMN DAY! “He Hideth My Soul” by Fanny Crosby. Dare you not to sing it! 1 A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord, a wonderful Savior to me; He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock, where rivers of pleasure I see. Refrain: He hideth my soul in…
