Hope in the midst of crisis

This scripture really touched me today along with the women's study I attended this morning....

"The LORD will give strength to his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace."

This really hits home for me and many others we know that are stressing and trying to make ends meet these days with the effects of this economy. So many people we know have been layed off, might be layed off, or are still trying to make ends meet with one income. Everyone is looking for more money, more work, etc...

But, as this verse illustrates, The LORD is the only one to give strength to us. He will bless us and more importantly HE will give us peace. It is only our duty and need to trust that His Word is true and that in the midst of being broke and cutting off the cable and eating every meal in, we can know that the Lord is behind us and he will not forsake us. I hope everyone going through the troubled waters as we are can find strength in this scripture that blessed me today!
