“And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled…” – Mark 11:7
“Troubled”– it seems everyone wants to get us frightened by some crisis. From the weather to the nations, everything is in “crisis management”!
Jesus told HIS followers NOT to be troubled. It doesn’t mean we don’t care, it doesn’t mean we don’t act, but we choose not to be in a crisis.
God is our Father, he is personally caring for us, he will give us peace and wise actions to take at the right time.

Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I hereby put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt. Then Pharaoh took his signet ring … and put it on Joseph’s finger. He dressed him in robes … put a gold chain around his neck … had him ride in a chariot as his second-in-command” – Genesis 41:41-43
Joseph was disadvantaged, a slave, and a prisoner for years, but he remained faithful to his morals and to hope. When the time was right his deliverance took but a moment.
Moments are essential; Divine moments change history.
Don’t discount moments of time. It doesn’t matter how long you have waited, God’s answer takes only a moment.

“All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” – John 6:37
‘ Take my life !’ We have said it or sung it before the Lord, it may be many times; but if it were only once whispered in His ear with full purpose of heart, should we not believe that He heard it? And if we know that He heard it, should we not believe that He has answered it, and fulfilled this, our heart’s desire?
Why should we doubt that He did verily take our lives when we offered them—our bodies when we presented them?”
– Frances Ridley Havergal, author of the hymn, “Take My Life and Let it Be”1
