Dear Congregation,
I sincerely pray this finds you well, both in soul and body. As these trying times continue, so do the temptations to sin and the call of our God to faith. It’s for that reason that I want to take you Ps 42.11 this Lord’s Day. In this verse we see David struggling with a difficult providence, but we also see him fortifying his faith with truth and then directing his faith to find encouragement in that truth.I want to follow David’s pattern in this verse and give you several truths to fortify your faith in these suffering times and then some directions that will help guide your faith in resting upon and living by those very truths. I would have you filled with joy and strong in faith in these days!
As our hearts long for the assembly and the face-to-face fellowship it affords, may God be pleased to use our live-streaming for our encouragement, even as He endears the sanctuary to us more and more. One day this restriction will pass; but until then, let us be grateful for our blessings and trust in our God.
In Christ’s love,
Pastor James
