"The answer to the problem of evil does not lie in trying to establish its point of origin, for that is simply not revealed to us. Rather, in the moment of the cross, it becomes clear that evil is utterly subverted for good. . . . If God can take the greatest of evils and turn them for the greatest of goods, then how much more can he take the lesser evils which litter human history, from individual tragedies to international disasters, and turn them to his good purpose as well."
- Carl R. Trueman, "Luther's Theology of the Cross"
With the economy in the gutter and who knows who is going to get elected, I think we need to trust God for the outcome of all of this.
Psa 20:7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
Psa 20:8 They collapse and fall, but we rise and stand upright.

Very good scripture for our times.
Psalm 27:7 is one of my favorite verses. I discovered it years ago when my "world" was falling apart and it became apparent that I couldn't trust the "world" around me. It brings great comfort. Trust and Pray!! Blessings~Dawne
His will is being accomplished, and His plan will come to fruition.
I have been doing a lot of reminding myself lately that He s still in charge. That satan only has the territory that God allow Him to have.
And above all.....I am His responsibility. He is responsible for taking care of me and my family. And the good thing is that I am not a huge burden for Him.....He does it with love.
So when my heart begins to jump.....I remind it to be still and remember He is God.
Thanks for your prayers. Are being affected by any of the fires in California?
