The next time you're troubled by fear and misgivings about all the turmoil in life and the nation, just remember:
Exodus 15:3-8
3 The LORD [is] a man of war: the LORD [is] his name. 4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea. 5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone. 6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. 7 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, [which] consumed them as stubble. 8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, [and] the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
The doctrine: God is our King and Lord, and in Him we trust in all things. He can and does put to rest the roiling of the seas of life, and brings placid peace and courage to those who ask.
Kind of puts thing into perspective, huh?
