This Scripture spoke to me as our country approaches fiscal accountability and the Syrian Crisis. Let us join together to pray that our nation turn to trust in The Lord and remember the Truths from His Word.

Isaiah 8

A Call to Trust the Lord

¹¹ The Lord has given me a strong warning not to think like everyone else does. He said,

¹² “Don’t call everything a conspiracy, like they do,
    and don’t live in dread of what frightens them.
¹³ Make the Lord of Heaven’s Armies holy in your life.
    He is the one you should fear.
He is the one who should make you tremble.
¹⁴     He will keep you safe.
But to Israel and Judah
    he will be a stone that makes people stumble,
    a rock that makes them fall.
And for the people of Jerusalem
    he will be a trap and a snare.
¹⁵ Many will stumble and fall,
    never to rise again.
    They will be snared and captured.”

¹⁶ Preserve the teaching of God;
    entrust his instructions to those who follow me.
¹⁷ I will wait for the Lord,
    who has turned away from the descendants of Jacob.
    I will put my hope in him.
