Ronald Reagan, TIMES OF TROUBLE

TIMES OF TROUBLE
PSALM 9:9
Trouble"

"The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a

refuge in times of trouble." Psalm 9:9
Times of trouble come to us all- none are exempt- but

when it does, we are not at its mercy. We, who know

the Lord as our Saviour, know that He is also our refuge

in those times when trouble comes.
trouble doesn't happen to us just once in our lifetime,

therefore, neither does the Lord come to our aid only

once. He doesn't tell us to pick which trouble we want

His help in because He is only going to help us once.
Are you going through one of those times of trouble

right now? There is a place of refuge and help for you.

It's the Lord Himself. He will make His presence your

place of refuge.
How often we try to remedy our own problems with our

own knowledge and thinking I can work this out, God

has given me a brain I must admit I have been there and

no doubt will go there again to this mentality of fleshly

thinking.
Have You Ever Been Alone with God?

"Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one

generation away from extinction. It is not ours by

inheritance; it must be fought for and defended

constantly by each generation, for it comes only once

to a people. Those who have known freedom and then

lost it have never known it again."

Ronald Reagan, in his first inaugural speech as

governor of California, January 5, 1967
