Faith and Strength in God - December 7, 2008

Good Sunday morning! The past ten years has been a journey of ever growing faith. The great example of God's everlasting faithfulness, given to me at the beginning of this period of my life, has sustained my faith in some dark times. You and I may face darkness of the mind, of our health, of our finances, or simply the dark of darkness itself. In everything, God's faith does not stop giving, and He gives us the strength to go on. At this time the nation, and that includes all of us, is facing tough times economically. We pray and we wait upon the Lord, trusting completely in His answer and grace. Have faith! Tough times will come and go, economic downturns are followed by upturns, the doldrums are followed by a fresh breeze. In everything give thanks to God for His glorious presence in our hearts and in our lives. To us the world may seem out of control, but from God's point of view His plan is unfolding just as He set it so many eons ago.

Each day we must get up and take up God's strength to get through the day. Let us each resolve to set aside the worries about tomorrow, and trust in God's strength to get through this day. In the seeming darkness of these times, I can see a huge revival coming throughout our nation. Let us each be ready to plant the seed of the Gospel and to harvest the wonderful growth of God's saving grace in our nation. The Lord is coming soon!

Have a wonderful Sunday and a merry Christmas!
