America vs. Syria: 2 Things YOU Can Do

Front Porch Friday logoThis time next week, America could be at war with Syria. The headlines and news reports are grim, and the timing – so close to September 11 – seems eerie.

Is there anything you and I can do in the face of discouraging times like these?

Today, on Front Porch Friday, I’ll answer that question as we interrupt our regularly scheduled series (You Might Be A Foolish Woman If ) and talk about what you and I can do about the situation in Syria. Girl, we live in troubled times, but God has some very encouraging words and very clear instructions for us today. So click play, and join me on the porch for a very important and timely episode of Front Porch Friday!

Maranatha!

Your sister,

LaurieSig  Which scriptures do you hang onto in troubled times? I’d love to know.  Share your favorites and share the blessing!

Go for a great, big blessing today: listen to God is on Our Side now — trust me, you’ll love it!
And here’s the link to Isaiah 11. Read it and rejoice!

    Thank you Laurie!!! This is such a wonderful thing you have done, to remind us to turn to God in this scary time. My “go to” verse is this:
    “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” -John 16:33 (NIV)

    Laurie, thank you for taking the time to put things into perspective with regard to Syria. I’ve been praying of course but its so easy to get discouraged. And so often us mere mortals are quick to become afraid, upset and a bundle of emotions when trouble comes our way. We forget God’s timely advice about worry, fear and discouragement. I see so many people running around saying “what do we do” about all this??
    Well you summed it up so nicely!! Pray, do not fear and remember the beautiful, awesome outcome of God’s kingdom with our Lord’s second coming!!! And remember above all else “God is On Our Side”. Thank you, thank you for sharing this with us!!!
