Current events have left many people fearful of heart and pondering what the future holds.  God made it plain in His Word that we will hear of wars and rumors of wars and that all these things will come to pass but that surely does not mean the end has come (Matthew 24:6-7).  As usual, Jesus never speaks gloom without providing a way of escape or words of comfort.  He encourages us in verse 13 to endure to the end.  He also lets us know the sign of the endtimes  -  which will be when the gospel is preached all over the world.

Let me also point you to a scripture that I believe is so relevant for today and every day that we wake up on this earth.  Psalm 91:1 tells us what we should do now during this time of war and what we should do always.  

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.  I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress:  my God; in Him will I trust.

This is what the Holy Spirit revealed to me:

1. The secret place is God's "safe house" or "shelter" for His beloved and those that would trust Him.
2. It is not a man-made shelter where you come to in time of need but a God-provided shelter which becomes your place of dwelling (your house).
3. It is not a physical place but a "virtual place" where you can be in constant communication with God.
4. You don't have to leave it in the morning, when you go to work or school or church, and then return to it.  You stay in there constantly - like being in a bubble - a virtual, spiritual bubble.  How?
5. God enfolds you and becomes your refuge - your shelter or retreat from the outside wall,  He becomes your fortress - a fortified place and a stronghold wall of protection around you.  He protects you from the traps, attacks, and onslaught of the enemy and keeps you safe.

So let me encourage you in this -- do not let your heart be troubled.  Rest safe and secure in God, in the knowledge that you are rooted and grounded in the palm of His hand, and no evil or calamity shall come upon you.
