"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." Psalm 46:1
"We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is
at work in us, but life is at work in you."
II Corinthians 4:8-12
"As the deer longs for flowing streams, so longs my soul for you, O God. My soul does thirst for the living God, when shall I come to see your face? My tears have fed me day and night, while some have said "where is your God?" But I recall as my soul pours dry, the days of praise within your house. Why do I mourn and toil within, when it is mine to hope in God? I shall again sing praise to Him, He is my help, He is my God."
Psalm 42
"I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety."
Psalm 4:8
"In all your ways acknowledge Him, and he will make your paths
straight."
Proverbs 3:5-6
"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.' "
From Psalm 91
"Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away."
From Psalm 37
"Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me."
Psalm 50:15
"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my
strength? My strength cometh from the Lord which made heaven and earth."
Psalm 121:1-2

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13
Verse 13 says “whosoever”. Charles Spurgeon said that this verse gave him more assurance of being saved than any other in the Bible. He said that if God had worded this verse “If Charles Haddon Spurgeon shall call upon the name of the Lord he shall be saved”, he would have wondered if he was saved or not. He said he would doubt if he was saved because there might be another Charles Haddon Spurgeon, and God might have been speaking of the other Charles Haddon Spurgeon. He said that he knew that he was saved because “whosoever” included him.
You can rejoice today because when God says “whosoever”, he includes you.
