A sense of dread recently came over me. There's something in the making. I have no idea what it is. Usually when this happens, it's not long before some big disaster. I felt like this shortly before 9-11.
Just thought I would ask...
Yes, I've been feeling like there's "something in the making". It's been my prayer that God would have us ready.
There seems to be something coming to a "head" (imo), for lack of a better term.
Look at the turmoil around the world and in our own nation. The middle east is rocking and reeling, people are looking for answers and expecting national leaders to come up with solutions...but quick.
I have no idea what the future holds, but I know God is in control and He can change any circumstance and or future outcome.
We need to pray and hold onto the Lord like never before.
I didn't feel any sense of dread before 9/11, but within a short time of it happening I did feel a deep sense of peace. I'm beginning to feel that same sense of peace in the last few days. So, God only knows if something has been averted, for the cries of mercy that have gone out from His people or if He will protect His own in the course of what lies ahead or if we experience every bit of it? Whatever the case, Jesus is our Strong Tower and the righteous run into it and are safe.

Agreed! And, anyone with a TV, computer or local newspaper can tell that we're sitting on the brink of something - - just like Ferd said, we're always going to in that position because of who is in control....but, our trust is in Jesus!

Something headed this way? Yes, most certainly. But those who have found the "secret place" are going to be alright.
<< Psalm 91 >>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Well said, Sandie.

Trial and affliction can bring about a sense of doom. Many in this Country and around the World have been financially challenged.
During the Great Depression (Pun is intended), our World hurled into a very foreboding state of mind.
When you add in the tension of the Middle East and other crisis’ of the World, we ALL feel a sense of helplessness.
I personally feel, this is an excellent time to draw nigh to God. When a bank account runs dry, or the things of this World are lost, our trust can move to a higher ground with the Master of all ages.
I’m watching birds in my back yard right now, and the Scripture comes to mind; Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
