@sinbach I've been seeing this too. I don't pretend to understand all that's going on (because I know I don't understand it all!). I would be interested in hearing more of your thoughts on these viewpoints and the evidence that points otherwise. I personally don't think Putin is just trying to destroy child trafficking and biolabs, because it seems if that were the case, the evidence would be different than what we are seeing. But, at the same time, I have become quite skeptical of the media.

For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion: In the covert of his tabernacle will he hide me; He will lift me up upon a rock.
Psalms 27:5 ASV
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, remember well these two verbs present in this verse:
1) to keep
2) to hide
God has the power to keep and hide his children redeemed with the precious blood of Christ.
For in the day of trouble
he will keep YOU secretly
in his pavilion:
In the covert of his tabernacle
will he hide YOU;
He will lift YOU up upon a rock.
This is a promise to those
who feel in danger!

"This is what I mean, brothers: The time is short. From now on, those who have wives should live as though they had none, and those who mourn as though they did not mourn, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they did not own a thing, and those who use the things in this world as though they were not dependent on them. For the world in its present form is passing away."
1. Cor. 7: 29-31.
Look to Jesus! Cling on to Him! Make Him your absolute and ultimate goal! This world is fading. Our hearts should be so sealed in Him, so that whatever we do, have or own in this life, it won't shake or distract us away from the Rock we're standing on. By standing firmly on that Rock, Jesus, we are showing the Light to people around us to also join us there. To find true life. And that Rock will NEVER shake.

In this episode @sinbach talks about the war and the refugee crises in Europe. I feel honoured and touched that he makes comparisons with, and tell about, the Finnish Winter War during WWII against the Russian army. ❤️ 🙏 There are few that can place Finland (and many other foreign countries) on a map, and Eugene knows not only where the countries are, but also have visited them and knows a lot of details about them.
Please pray for Finland and Sweden, for protection! I don't know what could possibly happen, but these days are traumatic/emotional for Finns, both because of the former wars against Russia, and because of the indirect threaths Putin has uttered.
Please pray for our president Sauli Niinistö that will leave for the USA tomorrow for an appointment with Joe Biden! (I shared a statement from our president in an earlier post today). As you might know Finland and Sweden are among the few nations in Europe that are not members of NATO.

I love to read and just now finished reading this book. I have been touched by God in a special way through the reading of this book. If you enjoy reading about the goodness of God, then you may also wish to read this book. I recommend it.
@bethany Also, I couldn't help but notice the emptiness in the eyes of the boys. It's not natural for little boys to sit and study all day. Children need to play, to laugh, to learn all kinds of things! What are they learning from the Koran?? 💔 How are these boys being treated? Years ago I saw a video that showed an Islamic "school" where the children were writing on (I think) slate tablets and washing them in a trough with water that they would then drink. A little boy was being whipped mercilessly. It was heartbreaking. There is so much suffering in this world. It's obvious males are given preference, but that doesn't mean they're happy or truly satisfied. The only true peace comes from JESUS.
@bethany This is heartbreaking in so many ways. I wonder why they didn't blur the woman's face (at the shelter). She specifically requested no faces be shown and stated her own life would be endangered.

This was posted on Facebook by the ministry 8thirty8:
"Dear friends, as we pray for Ukraine, let's also lift up our brothers and sisters in Russia. We received this update from a Russian friend this week."
"Please remember to pray for us here in Russia too! We are broken and hurting. But there are many believers here. We are continuing to preach the gospel and comfort people and encourage them to look to God! We have to look at God and go through this fiery furnace. Please pray for us believers in Russia who are trying to change our country from the inside out. One person at a time. We will preach the Gospel and God's love!" Message clipped. I didn't post the prayer from 8thirty8 due to space constraint.
@heartnsoulr1 Wait. "Free" Ukraine? Denounce their governments actions? I'm not sure I understand what this is saying. Are they for Russia "freeing" the people of Ukraine from their government?
@Berrybunchfamily My name is Darlene. Cherishing Sparrows is my Ding Dash and email name, because I am generally cautious about any type of social media. I had a bad experience with Facebook years ago (not so much due to my Facebook "friends", but to whomever is behind the scenes). I chose Cherishing Sparrows, because God sees and cares about the little things and He sees me. I want to share His heart for those the world my overlook. I want to have eyes to see as He sees and to cherish the sparrows.
@ZGoldenReport There is so much suffering around the globe. It seems the general media only focuses on what advances the political causes they want to support, whatever that cause may be. It's been that way for years. I used to wonder why the attrocities in Sudan weren't in the news... And, as you are highlighting, why is there so much silence about Myanmar? And, what about Nigeria? And, even with the situations that are in the news, what is the full story? When they want to change the focus it can almost give you whiplash if you really care about the situation and suddenly can't find info on that topic anymore.

But it is good for me to draw near to God;
I have put my trust in the Lord God,
that I may declare all Your works.
Psalms 73:28 NKJV
@Berrybunchfamily I think that will be fine. God is worthy of praise!
@Berrybunchfamily there was a typo I missed twice. "Is" is supposed to read, "us".
@Berrybunchfamily I do have testimonies! I will love to share sometime🙂
Tonight I have a testimony to share, but it's not my own. My husband's cousin lived with us over a period of several years and then married a year ago this past December. She and her husband maintain a close relationship with is and join is for our evening meal (do you call it dinner or supper?🙂) most Wednesdays. Two of her brothers have been living in Kiev, Ukraine. They had no money to leave. They are young men and men were not being allowed to leave. They are Ghanaian and apparently black people were not being allowed to leave. God worked several miracles and they are now in Poland! This was truly a miraculous escape. Maybe it was a compassionate police officer, or was it an angel who assisted them? One of these young men didn't even have his passport as it was out of the country for renewal.
@Berrybunchfamily This is beautiful!

Is there any hope for our nation ? #Srilanka
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.” (John 11:25-26)

I received (yesterday) this forwarded message from a sister in Christ in Finnish, and again my own translation of it to English:
"We got a message yesterday from our friend in Kiev:
I want to encourage you with the words of our known soldiers and of other common people who are coming from different warfronts. They tell:
"We feel your prayers. Sometimes happens something very inexplicable, like an invisible hand really would direct the bullets and other ammunitions away from us so that they fly us by. We get victories in very difficult situations, like if someone was guiding them. We become invisible to our enemy, but we self can see them in complete darkness so that we know what and how to react. All of this is giving us courage and strenght. We believe that the Lord Jesus himself is protecting Ukraine. We ask you, please, don't quit your prayers, but keep on praying. We need you!"

“Great is Thy faithfulness,” O God my Father,
there is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not as Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.
“Great is Thy faithfulness!” “Great is Thy faithfulness!” Morning by morning new mercies I see; all I have needed Thy hand hath provided
“Great is Thy faithfulness,” Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, Sun, moon and stars in their courses above, join with all nature in manifold witness
to Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
