Adversity

In dealing with adversity, I find that God gives grace and peace sufficient in our time of need. He indeed is faithful. We are facing a time of crisis, and yet we have peace. I am trusting God and leaning on the scripture that states that God keeps us in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Him. I pray that we will continue to look to Him for the faith and courage to continue to live for Him. I know that all is in God's hands and in His control. I am encouraged by the myriad of answered prayer and praise. One of our church families found out that her mother, whom the doctors were sure had cancer, doesn't. Another pastor who was a former member here stated that he was enjoying his new church, and that souls were saved. Another told me of the souls saved at a service they had last week. I can only ask that God will use me to reach the lost in this community. I also pray that He will continue to use our missionaries who are so faithfully serving Him on the foreign fields.

I'm hoping to use this forum in the future as a means of providing daily thoughts for our church website. Looks promising.
