Happy New Year. This can be a good year for you, in spite of all that is going on in the world around us. The key lies in the choices we make. If we will learn to find favour with God and realize sovereign rights are His, and there are no limits with the limitless one, that leaves us in a favourable position. Mary found favour with God, and the rest is history.
We are to pray for those in authority. Whether or not one likes a prime minister, a president, a pastor, a police officer or even a teacher, it is our duty to uphold that one. We may not condone their actions all the time, but we are to pray for them. A good example is the president of the United States. I doubt it if anyone has suffered relentlessly at the hands of thoughtless people the way President Trump has, and he is still being buffeted, as he soon closes out a chapter of his life to begin a new one. I suppose the most difficult part of what has happened in his life, is the fact that all these so-called prophets, and people taking authority over God, gave him a false hope. Mr Trump is a new believer in the faith and people told him God said he would be serving another four years. How hurtful that must be. I would encourage you to read Ezekiel chapter 13 . and pray for leaders.
We had only six out to our Gather Gospel Music Hours in December. Three leaders, and three in the seats. But you know what? That is good, because the bright side is, it can’t get much worse than that. We still had a great time singing and playing instruments. Sunday, Jan. 31 at 6 p.m. we will have another hymn sing. We hope to see you there, masks and all.
Please remember that if you do not have a place where you feel comfortable worshiping God with fellow believers, or even if you feel that you need a rest (a change is as good as a rest), please drop in to our little place of worship at 314 - Railway Ave. in Turtleford. Service time is 11 a.m.
Until next month, remember, when life gets too hard to stand, you can always kneel.
