Perfect Peace

Isaiah 24:18 “Whoever flees at the sound of terror will fall into a pit;..” Last night we were watching a show then all of the sudden we heard Sophie scream, “An earwig!!!” As ugly as an earwig is, it is not harmful at all, kind of like most spiders. We tend to get startled by little

Isaiah 12:2 “Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation.” Trust is something we do every day. We trust in our alarm clocks to wake us up. We trust the coffee maker will brew our
