Today's Bible reading: Exodus 9-11; Matthew 15:21-39
Well here we are at mid-week again. Numbers 21 tonite at CCE. Looking back on the last few weeks I'm amazed at the sustaining power of God to see us through hard times. We all feel wiped out but blessed. Does that make sense? Those who have been through these kinds of trials and tragedies know what I'm talking about. I think of Moses and how he grew through the intense encounters with Pharaoh as the 10 plagues were being poured out on the land of Egypt. Moses must have been spent emotionally yet God was in the process of establishing him for future service and leadership. Compare Ex. 5:19-23 with Ex. 11:2-3. We are blessed because God has taken and is taking us through some difficult times and has deepened our compassion and mercy and love for one another. Our lives are in His hands. May we continue to look unto Jesus, the Author and the Finisher of our faith, as we press on.
In His Arm's,
Pat

HI Pastor Pat yes we are stressed but in that is the peace of God...I'm so thankful that we had the week of prayer and one of my prayers is we do it again. It was a crazy week but a calm week as the Lord is in our hearts.
