Reading through the book of Jeremiah the prophet (in God’s Word) I’m encouraged by what the LORD GOD says to those who trust in Him: “I WILL SAVE YOU, because you trust in Me.” Jeremiah 39:18 As I see all that we are faced with today (under this wicked administration running our nation) and the… Read more »
