1 Samuel 14:4
Banker's Panic of 1907 extremely damaging to mining and railroads in the West. In 1917, a dispute between mining companies and workers. Workers had a list of demands unmet by the company. Workers were faced with a choice:

You may not have TODAY what you'll need TOMORROW

2) The PROFESSION of a SITUATED Man!
He's situated between a rock and a hard place.
A) He TURNS to God (6)
He knows that God is RELIA ...
