VAIN WATCHING!

VAIN WATCHING!

Ps 127:1-2

Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

Ps 33:16-20

16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

20 Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.

1 Sam 14:6

…there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.

           Panic has gripped our economy and our politics. Our paper money is founded on promises and our lawmakers are infamous for their calumny one toward another. We hoard our resources, strengthen our ramparts and beat our plowshares into swords but we feel no confidence.

           Peace is in the hands of the Prince of Peace. It is vain to put our trust in chariots and horses while the Lord sits enthroned. I, for one, will resort to the strong arm of my Master. He may bid me to prepare for trouble but the disposition of my cause is in His hands and the battle is not to the strong.

Dear Lord, our world is now as you said it would be. I will trust in thee and be at peace. AMEN
