We apologize for taking so long to return to this blog. In the time that has passed, we have helped our church to remain true to the Word of God and to call a pastor who will do the same, with love for his sheep and a burden for lost souls and straying saints. If you wish to know more about our new pastor, or more about our ministry, please feel free to contact us.
We are seeing our country go through many devastating, natural disasters. Our personal lives are often challenged with various physical, and sometimes financial uncertainties. While it is true that hard times come and go, does that mean that we are without hope?; absolutely not! As I worked through writing “Bits of Home Chat” for our mail students today, I finished with a focus/memory verse. God led me to this verse that reveals the condition of a spiritually minded person whether he is struggling with difficult life circumstances or simply working through a fairly normal time.
Psalm 146:2 says “While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.” This man says he will sing praises to His God, who is our God as well, as long as he has any being! He has a close walk with God, and a full dependance on God, that naturally brings forth an exclamation of praise in song from his inner being.
Have you been able to praise the name of the Lord and to sing praises unto your God? If not, then you need to walk closer to your God, and have a full dependance on God, even to saying “Not my will, but thine be done”. How long can you praise the name of the Lord and to sing praises unto your God?; as long as you have any being! That is amazing and wonderful!
