Hello Sunflower,

You tell us about one of the thousand dangers that are menacing people.
In Holland, every day, when you listen to the news, you hear about all problems of our world-wide difficulties, such as 'the warming up of the planet', 'the lack of oil in some decades from now ', 'the rising foodprices'. And one of these thousand things is : a too strong dependence of foodhelp and so on by the government.

Proverbs 18 v 10 however says:
'The name of the Lord is a strong tower,
the righteous run to it and are safe"

Proverbs 29 v 25 says:
"Fear of man will prove to be a snare,
but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe".

All those 'helping hands of the government' they are a steady and remanining situation. We can talk about it, moan about it, but we can not change this situation, neither can we change all the far bigger dangers that menace the world. That is all spoiled energy.

( Of course you can do certain things against pollution by all those cars).

But far the best thing of all is: trusting the Lord: repentance, conversion, deep conversion= rebirth, baptizm with the Holy Spirit. Then you use your energy for the good, remaining, heavenly things, you will not so easily fall into all those snares and the Lord will keep you safe and unassailable

And unassailable you will also be running to the tower of the Lord,the name of God, the name of the Holy Spirit and the name of our dear Lord Jesus.

But therefore it is necessary that you are righteous, because you trust on Jesus'word:
"Fulfilled", (John 19 v 30).

And you will see, that: made strong by the name of Lord Jesus, you will be able to do the wise things against all sorts of dangers , menacing us.
