In this week’s edition of Pastoral
Letters of Encouragement, I want to focus on a few thoughts regarding the
subject of help. Every person young and old needs help. Help is defined as “to give relief; to find deliverance; to
aide, ease and to change for the better; to improve or aid in assistance.”
No matter who you are, there will be many times in life on the way to Heaven
that you will need H-E-L-P HELP!
Consider these questions:
· Where do you go when
there is no one else to turn?
· Who do you lean on in
times of trouble and despair?
· Where do you go for
tranquility and to find a peaceful harbor?
· Where do you search for
answers?
·
Where do
you look for guidance and strength?
One thing I will mention in Sunday’s message titled, “Focus on God” is the fact that if we
only spend 1 hour in Worship a week, then we are spending the other 167 hours
of a week’s time out in the world. That is why I encourage you at all times to
spend time with the Lord Jesus Christ and to please come to our services and
activities at Daniels Chapel Church when the doors are open. Please take time
and read I Corinthians 10: 1-12 prior to Sunday and you will see what I am
talking about.
God is our refuge and strength and the local Church is where we
come to build bonds of friendship with the Lord Jesus Christ and other people.
I need the Lord every hour of every day. I need His HELP for without Him how
lost I would be.
In this world it is difficult to cope and you will have a hard
time if you try and make it through on your own. Why go through the anxiety,
fear and heartache when you can “feast from the table of life” and “drink from
His fountain.” Never forget that you do not have to look far to find Jesus and
never in life should you take the mindset to walk alone. Help is here, so FOCUS
ON GOD! FOCUS ON GOD! FOCUS ON GOD!!!
In closing, read these words and may they speak to your heart and
soul.
“I will lift up my eyes to the hills--
where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven
and earth. He will
not let your foot slip-- he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither
slumber nor sleep. The LORD watches over
you-- the LORD is your shade at your right hand; the sun
will not harm you by day, or the moon by night. The
LORD will keep you from all harm-- he will watch over your
life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
(Psalm 121)
Let
us pray: Oh
Holy Father, we look to You continually for HELP for our HELP comes from Thee.
Whatever we need right now please supply and then help us to praise You for
watching our coming and going both now and forever more. Thanks for all Your
HELP and please keep sending HELP our way!! We need YOU Lord Jesus!! Finally
dear God, prepare our hearts to Worship You on Sunday. Let us have REVIVAL and
services this Lord’s Day like we have at Cragmont during the Family Retreat
weekend and during the 4 weekends each summer of Old Fashioned Meeting. Prepare
us for a grand time to experience Your Presence and Touch. Thank You for
forgiveness, salvation and a brand new life. HELP us and HELP US TO REACH THE
LOST! In Jesus Name… AMEN
I
LOVE ALL OF YOU!! Have a safe and blessed weekend!! See you Sunday!! Be sure to
be here and invite someone to come along!! It is going to be a great time in
the Lord!!!
