Taking a Moment to Pray: Starting off this devotional with prayer needs. In a world full of challenges, this week has quite a few…
- Caleb Scott– who left for Lebanon yesterday to serve as a missionary for an extended time, reaching out to Syrian refugees; his skin has recently flared up with a bad case of eczema making him really uncomfortable
- Billy Miller– son of Bill and Andra who left on Sunday for a second stint in Romania, working with the poor; Pray for provision for him
- RhonaGrant– undergoing serious brain surgery tomorrow morning (eight-hour procedure) at 7:30 am, to fix one or more cerebral aneurysms.
- Brittany– kidneys failing from an extended battle with Lupus; married with three boys; miracle needed to survive; friends with Rhonda Ellis
- Cheri – terrific battle with depression; needs to be set free
- Mary Hurlbut– extreme pain in right hip and down her leg since Saturday
- Gil– needs the right rental in Laguna; just moving down from up north and loves Little Church
Join Us: This Thursday at noon, around the flag pole in front of City Hall, the National Day of Prayer; we join 40,000 other gatherings around the country in praying for our nation; service will last an half-hour or so.
Some Thoughts For the Heart…
- When everybody else walks out, Jesus is walking in
- God doesn’t control our life; we’re not robots; but God is in charge of our life
- When you really love, nobody is safe from a blessing
- All suffering produces something good, usually much more than we know
- Our attitude when troubles come will determine how well we live life
- God wants us to be like Him when it comes to difficult people – love them
- It’s not the size of your accomplishments that’s important but the size of your heart
- Everyone is remarkable if you care to see
- God is more interested in your character than your comfort
- This is certain – what you are facing today is going to pass
