GREETINGS IN CHRIST!

GREETINGS IN CHRIST!

While we go through difficult times as believers in America and around the world, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on a beautiful thought, “Our Times Are In His Hands”.

The entire chapter of Psalm 31 tells the story of David, who was a man after God's heart, speaking of the difficulties he was facing and his determination to continue to trust God. Especially referring to “times” that were beyond his understanding.

In my opinion the most encouraging and powerful verse of the scripture is verse 15, “My times are in your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me”.

The “times” being spoken of refers to the various events that come into our lives, whether we see them as good or bad.

Without a doubt, we are going through challenging times right now, whether it is in our own individual lives, families, or even our churches.

I write this letter with encouragement to each one of us to continue to trust God in all facets of our lives.

We know God sees and knows all things, yet we need to allow Him to rule and reign over the “kingdoms of our lives.”


Continue to keep each other lifted in Prayer and Stay Encouraged!!

Memory Verse: "Don't be afraid; from now on you will fish for people" (Luke 5:10, NIV)


Lesson: Peter, James, and John had fished all night but caught no fish. They were cleaning their nets when Jesus came along. He told Peter to take his boat out to catch some fish. He called James and John to help him. They caught so many fish that their boats could not hold them all. They were surprised! Peter now knew Jesus was God. He thought about all his sins and he was afraid. "Do not be afraid," said Jesus. "Follow Me." Then all three fishermen left their boats and their nets and followed Jesus.


THINK ABOUT IT: If Jesus comes back today, will you be ready?


How you can share the good news! Have you told someone about Jesus today? What did you share with friends and family? Continue to share the good news about Jesus. Most people are home during this pandemic and this is a good time to reach out to as many family and friends.


Have a blessed week.
