With the election looming, the stock market going nuts, unemployment rising, and the war in Iraq grinding on, we are surely living in turbulent times where things are constantly changing.
This morning in my personal time with the Lord I read Psalm 59. "You have been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble. To You O my Strength I will sing praise. For God is my defense, the God of my mercy."
What a comfort that He is my defense, my refuge, my strength, my mercy!! I am in the best place that I can be when I realize that my only security is in Him. May we grow in that grace!

In Matthew 16 Jesus asked His disciples, "Who do you say that I am." That is the question that every man and woman must answer and must answer it correctly- who is Jesus?Muslims believe that he was a prophet - a great & holy man & a great leader. Mormons believe that Jesus was created by God and that he is a brother of Satan. Jehovah Witness believes that Jesus was Michael the Archangel. The Bahai faith believe that it is impossible for God to be in the flesh so Jesus was just a teacher.
All of the world religions have their opinion about who Jesus was. But Peter got it right - when he said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." May you know Him not as just a good teacher or a prophet but as the Christ - the very Son of God.
