Fear is gripping the hearts, souls, spirits and minds of the people. There are storms brewing in every corner of the world; spiritual and natural storms. The storms come in many different forms. There are typhoons and earthquakes, but there is also job loss, divorce, addiction and abuse rampant throughout the world. We live in a nation that some would call the land of milk and honey in the US, but inside the borders it does not feel like or taste like the sweetness that either one of them could bring to our taste buds. We are being overthrown and taken down by a darkness that seeped in over time and seemingly unnoticed by many. Many are so caught up in the world that they cannot see the world is consumed with darkness of social media and moral corruption. Media has opened a portal to a darkness that is consuming time, money, families, jobs and lives.
Our eyes are open, but we are blind. Our ears hear clearly, but we cannot hear the cries of the people who are addicted, lost, lonely, homeless and love starved. We smell the delicacies of food, but not the stench of the homeless who served to protect our freedoms during times of war and are not abandoned and lost. We idolize the world and have fallen prey to money and merchandise. We equate wealth to how much we have and how good it looks to others. Meanwhile, we are poor in spirit, heart broken and enslaved to the world. We don't own a thing, because we have borrowed our lives and enslaved it to credit. We have become a merciless, graceless, loveless and unforgiving society that cannot hear the cries of our own souls seeking a refuge, a high tower and a savior to redeem us from the mess we have made of a blessed and favored nation.
Psalm 27 Of David
Lord, make me rich in spirit that I may seek Your Kingdom knowing that according to Your Word, all other things will be added unto me. Allow me to know who I am so that I will not be moved by my natural surroundings, because Your Word says You will not allow me to fail. I trust You, Lord, and I believe You have me in the palm of Your hand sheltering me - even in the midst of a storm - and Your grant me peace. In Jesus name I pray and thank you, Amen.

Psalm 27 Of David
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked advance against me
to devour me,
it is my enemies and my foes
who will stumble and fall.
3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident.

3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident.
4 One thing I ask from the Lord,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent
and set me high upon a rock.

above the enemies who surround me;
at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the Lord.

7 Hear my voice when I call, Lord;
be merciful to me and answer me.
8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”
Your face, Lord, I will seek.
9 Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
God my Savior.
10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
the Lord will receive me.
11 Teach me your way, Lord;
lead me in a straight path
because of my oppressors.
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
spouting malicious accusations.

14 Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.
