Greetings: God bless you this day.
Happy Leap day to y'all!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
What am I suppose to do now? I can't imagine standing between the
deep blue sea and a charging army, but I have asked this of God in
better circumstances.; at the moment of heartbreak, on the return of
test results. When we walk with the Lord, not every way seems lit with
glory. When there is nothing we can do, there is no need to fear...this is
God's fight. (David Lemley-Power for Today)

SCRIPTURE:
The Lord will fight for you. You need only to be still.
Exodus 14:14


When God's children reached the Red Sea, they could see no way out.
I'm sure they felt trapped. Have you ever felt trapped? God provided a
way for them and He will provide a way for us as well!

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda
