We
can rest in the fact that God has spent our whole lifetime preparing us
for the days in which we are living. Jesus tells us we need not panic
in the midst of worldwide turmoil.
Instead of looking for a place of refuge in the storm, God wants us to BE ONE!
People will
have needs in the coming months and years that He will enable us as
Christians to meet. When people start asking us how they can know the
Savior, we need to be prepared to answer them. People will be watching
us to see how we handle crisis and loss. Not only will we make it
through, but God will enlarge our sphere of influence.
I'm
sure you can remember some older saint that you knew who had deep
abiding joy, hope, and peace in the middle of adversity. Only Christ gives us a peace that the world
cannot give and the world cannot take away.
God speaks to us through the prophet Isaiah...
You
who have been borne by Me from your birth, carried from the womb; Even
to your old age I am He, and even to hair white with age will I carry
you. I have made, and I will bear; yes, I will carry and will save you.
Isaiah 46:3-4

I have needed this.
A beautiful reminder for me to not worry and panic.
Been praying for you.

I loved two of your points...that we should be the port in the storm instead of looking for one (so true) and that even if I have gray hair, I am still precious.
I may be middle aged, but should be carry, because he carries me!
Peace in Christ,
