Though a mighty army surrounds me, my heart will not be afraid. Even if I am attacked,I will remain confident. Psalm 27:3 NLT

War is a terrible time for everyone. It’s stressful for soldiers and civilians alike. It’s especially difficult for the people who live in the war zone; it’s a time of uncertainty and fear. What would you do if you were captured by the enemy? In times of war, parents worry about their children; husbands worry about their wives and everyone is concerned about their safety. Yet David expressed confidence in God’s ability to protect him even if he was surrounded by the enemy.

David was a man who had many experiences with God. He learned in his difficulties that he could trust God. He said, “TheLordis for me, so I will have no fear.What can mere people do to me?” Psalm 118:6. Here is…

Every society needs a variety of individuals to provide for the needs of their community. Some job descriptions are considered honorable while some are deemed unimportant.

All right then, the Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virginwill conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’). Isaiah 7:14 NLT

In life people are always looking for signs. I’m sure people who lived one hundred years ago, knew how to read the signs in the skies that told them that rain was coming. Sometimes, you listen to the prediction of the weather and you get outside and you shake your head. But as the day progresses, the change begins to happen; the temperature begins to drop creating the weather for snow. The prophet Isaiah told the people, “The Lord will give them a sign.”  Sometimes sign posts can be misdirected by accidents or the power of nature. But when the Lord gives a sign, it stands firm.

Therefore ifthere isanyconsolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if anyaffection and mercy,fulfill my joyby being like-minded, having the same love,beingofone accord, of one mind. Philippians 2:1-2 NKJV

One of the things I hated as a child was a conditional promise. So you want something and you can only get the desired item on the condition that you fulfill some requirement. That was not always a bad tradeoff but sometimes the conditions could be really bad. You find yourself agreeing to do something you absolutely don’t want to do, because it was the only way to get what you wanted.

Here, the Apostle Paul wanted to ask the community to engage in a particular action. But, he just didn’t blurt out his request. Instead, he began with some if then statements. He said, “Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ.”…
