In times like these, when the news is terrifying, and it seems the whole world has gone crazy, my heart is tempted to falter, to be terribly afraid. To get my mind off this fear and onto positive things, I remember what God has told me to do, what orders He gave me in His Word. I remember my place as a mother. I’m to be a keeper at home and a witness for Christ. I am to keep on until He comes or calls me home. I’m to overcome evil with good. The good I do for Christ—my obedience—along with fervent prayer, does more to fight the evil in this world than anything else I could do.

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Tim. 1:7).

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and …though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof” (Ps. 46:1-3).

The Solid Rock

Lyrics and music by Ruth C. Jones.

1. In times like these
you need a Savior
In times like these you need an anchor
Be very sure,
be very sure
Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock

Refrain:
This Rock is Jesus,
Yes He’s the One
This Rock is Jesus,
the only One
Be very sure,
be very sure
Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock

2. In times like these
you need the Bible
In times like these
O be not idle
Be very sure,
be very sure
Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock

3. In times like these
I have a Savior
In times like these
I have an anchor
I’m very sure,
I’m very sure
My anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. ~Psalms 19:14
