Ezekiel 48:35
It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there. 


Hebrews 13:5
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 

    In an age like we are now living in who can be at peace.  Wars and rumors of wars, strife on every hand.  The continual breakdown of the family, lack of job security where can we find true peace?  Jehovah - shammah, the Lord is present.   If we can grasp this promise how much easier it is to accept what is going on around us.  Nothing can happen to us that is outside of God's  will.  While we may not understand we can be assured that as our good shepherd all things that concern us are under His control.

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Matthew 28:20
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
