Matthew 11:28-30, “Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.” I
Psalms 118:5 “I called upon the Lord in my distress; the Lord answered me and set me in a large place.” So there you have it. Whenever you are in distress just call upon the Lord and He will set you in a large place. Just between you and me whenever I am in
Deuteronomy 21:10, “When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive,” This is an amazing chapter in the Bible from which you may have never heard a sermon preached.
