After they had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up before them and said: “Men, you should have taken my advice not to sail from Crete; then you would have spared yourselves this damage and loss. Last night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood beside me and said, “Do not be afraid Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar; and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.”
 
THOUGHT TO REMEMBER
When you have a good relationship with the Lord, you will have His protections in the storms of life.

Something to Think About
 
BURNING HEARTS             Clark Morphew
 
Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking….and open the Scriptures to us? Luke 24:32 (NRSV)
 
It would be the ultimate experience to have Jesus walk with us and tell us all the mysteries of life. Our hearts would truly be burning within us. But until that day when he returns, Jesus is present to us in the scriptures and in our prayers.
 
That may not seem like much to the ordinary person who looks at religious people with caution and skepticism. But to people who have believed all their lives, the Scriptures and prayer become the whole armor of God.
 
A life of devotion sustains us and carries us through difficult times. How many times in our lives has it seemed that Jesus was far away? How many times have we wished we could sit face-to-face with him and ask the great questions that plague our souls? Until the day we meet Jesus, we have the Scriptures and prayer to guide our questions and provide answers.
 
We all struggle to reach into the depth of our faith to meet God. And each time we discover a truth in the Bible or feel the presence of God in prayer, we are sustained for the long journey..
“God is Spirit and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:24.

From the Pastor’s heart;
 
Don’t forget to use this time to reach out to others. Spend some time each day calling members on the telephone and offering to pray with them.

Pastors Requests
Remember II Chronicles 7:14. “If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sins and heal their land.”
 
While we wait on God’s healing grace, let us fast and pray for His visitation. Pray for God to intervene and bring an end to this virus that we are facing. Pray for God to calm our spirits and help us to trust Him.
 
Pray for the lost to be saved. Pray for the unrighteous to turn to God. Pray for God to be glorified in the crisis we are going through. Pray in faith; pray with the confidence that God will hear and answer our prayers.
