Ever get up in the morning ready to start the day and all of a sudden, it goes into topsy-turvy mode?

The bathroom sink runs over, the kids are fussing and finally when you are ready to leave the house, your car has a flat.

Even amidst all of these just remember, “Fear thou not; for I am with thee; be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” Isaiah 41:10

He tells us that even with all the chaos, we are going through and we become weak, not to fear or be afraid because He promises us strength and He will uphold us. So no matter what trials we are about to face, we can depend on His promises at all times because He is a God we can count on.
