Trusting God in Troubled Times-Mrs Carol Hopson
While getting more and more frustrated over the political
situation and the direction our nation was heading, I
was convicted about getting all worked up over something
that God has clearly spoken to me about in the past. So I
had to confess my worried and angry heart and go back to
God's Word for direction and peace. It was then that God
gave me two verses that calmed my heart completely:
"…your faith should not rest on the wisdom of men, but on
the power of God" (1 Corinthians 2:5). "He [the righteous]
will not fear evil tidings; his heart is steadfast, trusting in
the LORD" (Psalms 112:7). I truly can't even put into words
the peace and trust God gave me that day as I left all my
worries and frustrations with Him. He then led me to sit
down and write out twenty ways I could honor Him in these
uncertain, unstable times. (I've included these in the
appendix at the end of the book.) This list has gone out all
over the world via the Internet. As I began sharing it with
others who were struggling, they would ask for it and would
then share it at church or with their Bible study group or
send it to relatives in other states and countries. Our
mighty God (El Gibbor) was at work and transformed my
thinking, and then used what He taught me to encourage
and strengthen others. He is always willing and able to
take on the battles for us, but we must let Him.
You need not fight in this battle; station
yourselves, stand and see the salvation of the
LORD on your behalf.…Do not fear or be
dismayed; tomorrow go out to face them, for the
LORD is with you.
-(2 Chronicles 20:17
