Promise 42 -Psalm 91.15

/ NewVision Elim / By

Call on Me when you are in trouble and I will rescue you. Psalm 91:15

But it shouldn’t be the last call we make. How much time do we waste or how much stress do we put our selves under by calling on the name of Lord as a last resort and not our first port of call. God has promise to rescue us from every situation we find our selves in and we need to put our faith in the promises of our Lord and put our trust in His Word.
