Don't Panic: Our Hope Is In Christ Jesus, Not Man

Reading the news headlines, it seems everyone's running scared and the world is chaotic. I can see the world becoming quickly ripe for a one-world leader. Between American politics, the stock market meltdown, the housing mortgage and bank chaos, increasing socialism overtaking capitalism, terrorism, rumors of impending wars....its enough to see how people could panic.

Here's just a friendly reminder to Christians to not panic, for The Sovereign God is indeed controlling His universe and we are in HIS hands. Our hope is not to be in men.

Jeremiah 17:5, “Thus says the Lord, ‘Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength and whose heart turns away from the Lord.’”



Psa 20:1 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob protect you!
Psa 20:2 May he send you help from the sanctuary and give you support from Zion!
Psa 20:3 May he remember all your offerings and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah Psa 20:4 May he grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans!
Psa 20:5 May we shout for joy over your salvation, and in the name of our God set up our banners! May the LORD fulfill all your petitions!
Psa 20:6 Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed; he will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving might of his right hand.
Psa 20:7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
Psa 20:8 They collapse and fall, but we rise and stand upright.
Psa 20:9 O LORD, save the king! May he answer us when we call.
