A Note from Pastor Jim

"Looking to the Future"

Some, if not all of you, are asking the question, "Where do we go from here?" I believe the word is FAITH! it is time to exercise our faith in our Lord. It would appear that God is asking us to TRUST Him to do what He has promised to do.

As I thought what I might share with you, Proverbs 3:5-6 came to me. "Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your understanding: in all ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight." If we are able to really Praise our Lord we must exercise trust in Him which requires that we believe Him and His ability to do as He has promised. Take a moment to read the whole chapter Proverbs 3 which teaches us the principles of being wise in a crumbling world.

Though there are many other Scriptures I could reference , I want to leave you with Phillippians 1:3-6. "I thank my God every time I remember you. In my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. BEING CONFIDENT OF THIS, THAT HE WHO BEGAN A GOOD WORK IN YOU WILL CARRY IT ON TO COMPLETION UNTIL THE DAY OF JESUS CHRIST." God is not through with you yet! As you read these lines, know that the Master has you firmly in His hands. Be confident in your faith, know that God is in control.

God bless you. Continue to allow God to form your character as you wait upon Him and as you follow His lead in the days & weeks to come Continue to anticipate His working through you to bring honor and glory to His name. Remember, God truly loves you and always will.
