Dear Church Family,
It is always my pleasure and privilege to communicate with you and come into your home in this way. Please note, prayer requests will be sent in a different text.
Let us take a few minutes and be encouraged by this great hymn.
We are living in changing times and with change comes the unknown. With the unknown comes fear if we are not resting in the Lord Jesus Christ, who loves us and gave Himself for us.
I want to remind you that the God who saved you from sin and the punishment of hell is the same God who is still on His throne bringing His world closer to His second coming. If you trusted Him to save you, trust Him for that as well.
Because we are God’s children we are eternally under His love and care. His church will prevail. He is building His church and nothing will prevent His perfect will. Rest in your Savior. Trust God. Don’t only believe in God but believe God. It is one thing to believe in the facts about God’s sovereignty, power,love, faithfulness and promises it is another thing to believe God and rest in Him.
The picture in revelation chapter one of the glorified Christ is something I think we all need to be reminded of today. Please read or listen to Revelation chapter 1.
The lamp stands represent the churches. The stars represent its leaders. Christ controls His church.
Revelation 1:16 says... In His right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword; and His face was like the sun shining in its strength.
In Revelation 1:17-18 the Apostle John says...
“When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. And He placed His right hand on me, saying, “
Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.”
If we are to fear, let us fear God. He is the One to be feared, to be in awe of, to bow down and worship.
He is our God and Savior. Note that as He speaks to John, He says he has the churches and its leaders in His hand. He then places His right hand on John and says, “Do not be afraid.”
Likewise Jesus reminds us in John 10:27-29...My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.
You are in the hand of God. Rejoice!
