And He arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have no faith?

Today in America we are in a dark place in our government lies have become the norm, hate has become commonplace and right has become wrong. Those of us who are used to right being right and the truth is what matters as well as having your character to speak for you. What we are experiencing in today's society causes many to worry and ask what has happened to the America we once knew when people spoke the truth and it mattered.

Lies, deceit, hate, and bigotry causes us to wonder when will justice be done and truth, love, kindness, and respect become normal. It seems as those days are gone forever. I am here to say, God's standards are what going to judge all evildoers and they will be punished according to His righteousness. Evildoers will soon be cut down like a tree and will wither like a green herb (Psalm 37:1).

There is calm in the midst of the storm; His name is Jesus; our mighty warrior in any battle. Therefore, we must keep our focus and our poise as we hold to the truth. Jesus is still in control, just as He spoke to the forces of nature and told the wind and the waves of the sea and said: "Peace be still." He will speak to the craziness that is emanating from the Whitehouse and there will be a calm that will resonate throughout this country.

All hope is not lost; this storm is ending. "Peace be still."
