Even in the Old Testament there were little miracles that provided God’s people proof that He cared and felt they mattered to Him. In times of danger fear is reasonable, but Faith is more reasonable. With faith, Direction beats “Directions”. Always remember that YOU are the answer. The solution to the world’s problems is in a relationship with Christ Jesus!

God wants you safe. He instructs us (Deuteronomy 22:8) to “build a parapet” or guardrail, to prevent us falling into sin. So, What’s it gonna take for you to do that? God wants YOU and yours.
