He spoke these words to His saints, living in a world of uncertainty, terror, sorrow, and pain. He spoke them as a reminder that in the crazy world, there is a God who sits on the throne, a God who watches over His children; that there is always hope in the darkest storm, relief for the deepest pain, and salvation for the most wretched individual.

This message was preached the week before the September 11th terrorist attacks. It has touched thousands and helped them to see there is still hope in every situation. God is still in control, and He is working out His plan.
