a Word from our Sponsor... Conspiracy.

Isaiah 8

Just a short reminder this cool morning from the lips of God through Isaiah the Prophet.

12 "Do not call conspiracy everything that these people call conspiracy; do not fear what they fear,and do not dread it.13 The LORD Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread,14 and he will be a sanctuary;

There are lots and lots of ideas swimming around right now about world governments, including our own. Viruses and death. Wars and drugs and poverty. And there is always someone to blame. Always someone who knows more then they are saying. Always just enough hidden that the rest of us wonder what "it" really is.

But for Isaiah it was pretty clear. Outright war. Pain and death and famine.

But God's simple trust is to not fear or dread what others do. The Lord Almighty is the only one to fear - but He does not choose to be feared, in contrast, He is a sanctuary. I find no comfort in our government. No peace in the system. No justice in the law. But Peace. Justice. And comfort abound in the hands of the Lord.

Like the commercial says, why worry about disaster? Your in Good Hands...
