Better the little that the righteous have than the wealth of many wicked; for the power of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.
Psalm 37:16-17

But now, Lord, what do I look for?  My hope is in you.
Psalm 39:7

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.  You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.  I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity."

As you think of your troubles, also think of and remember the promises in the verses I share with you today.  "....... the LORD upholds the righteous" "I am your God......I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."  The Lord knows everything that concerns you and His timing is always perfect.  Yes, your hope is in the Lord.  Never lose sight of hope and never let it go.  What you are going through is temporary and will pass.  You won't always feel the way you do now.  God says "do not be dismayed."  Sometimes we are held captive by our fears and worries.  God will bring you back from captivity.  Trust Him and let go of your fears and worries.  Let Him have them and then remember, once you give them to Him, resist the urge to take them back.  He will take care of you.

This message today won't be pertinent to all of you.  There are those of you who are at peace and for that I am thankful and rejoice with you.  However, my heart goes out to those struggling financially and are living currently with little or no income.  Pray with me for those in need.  God is sending this message through me today to those who are struggling right now. There are many people who need this assurance today.  You are in my prayers.  I love you.  God loves you more.
