FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
Michael Harris, Pastor

The newspapers are full of bad news, economic uncertainties, Will I have a job? Can I get a job, what happens when the unemployment runs out?; Life is filled with uncertainties.

Many Americans are angry with the government and seeming deadlock and stupidity by those we elect to fix the problems. Our future is uncertain, what can we do, where to turn?

Hebrews 13:6” So that we may boldly say (say with real confidence), the Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me”.

Our HOPE is in the Lord, no better anchor, no better guide. The Bible word for “hope” is “elpo”= to look forward to with joy and confidence.
God, our God, is the God of Hope because He is the giver of Hope. Apart from the good Lord, this old world is a pretty hopeless place - but with God’s help, we can make it, YOU can make it!

Ps 42:11- “Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.” I will praise Him! Trust in the Lord, He wants you to trust Him, claim His promises. Jer. 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

Thank you Lord, for all you’ve already done for me and mine. Help me to have confidence in your Word and build my strength for daily living so I might please you.
