hands you have said be anxious for nothing you have said that you know the number of hairs on my head and so I Surrender and yield to your will I'd like to speak to you on the topic of standing strong in the Lord standing strong in faith and I'll begin with the statement that I think you'll all agree with and that is if there's one thing that we can be certain about in this life it's the fact that life is often very unpredictable one moment you're on a high the next moment you come Crashing Down one moment it's all good it's peaceful and safe and in the next moment it feels as though all hell breaks loose you're at the top of the mountain one minute and you're walking through the valley of the shadow of death the next minute but if there's one thing to come to terms with in life it's the reality that life is unpredictable but here's the thing I am so grateful for the fact that in this ever-changing life we have a never-changing God Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forevermore he doesn't change he healed thousands of years ago on this Earth and he still heals today he loved those considered to be unlovable those considered to be outcasts and rejects and he still loves those same people today he spoke the words peace be still and the storm bowed down and I believe he can and will speak those very same words in the middle of your storm today that's why when life happens you can stand strong in the Lord don't allow life's challenges to shake your faith in God stand strong in the Lord stand and let him fight your battles he has promised that the Deep Waters won't drown us and when we go through the fire we will not be burnt so whether you're in the Lion's Den today or facing Pharaoh tomorrow stand strong in your deliverer who is Jesus we can trust

wouldn't you rather fall into the arms of the Lord than simply fall while trying to do things your way when your back is against the wall wouldn't you rather lean on God than your own understanding as we Face life's challenges our first impulse might be to surrender or to Simply give up and let it be and I understand that sometimes I understand that sometimes you can get to the point of just asking the question God why me why am I not married yet why did I have to be sick why can't I make as much money as they are and while we may be stressed and pressed on every side I'd like to recommend something to you I would like to give you a formula that might help if you find yourself in that situation I would like to encourage you to stand strong in the Lord because it is he who goes before
