Thursday

“Take my yoke and put it on you, and learn from me,

because I am gentle and humble in spirit;

and you will find rest.

For the yoke I will give you is easy,

and the load I will put on you is light.”

~Matthew 11:27-30 TEV~

There are a number of people still undergoing tests this week.  Please continue to pray for them as a group or individually.

From Esther Rodriguez

Please keep Elaine Stewart on the prayer list. She is coming along slowly and will be at North Oaks Rehab at least another week. Looks like she will be in a wheelchair 6 weeks or more.

“At the name of Jesus every knee should bow…” Philippians 2:10

“STAND STILL, AND see the salvation of the LORD…” Exodus 14:13

These words contain God’s command to the Christian when he is reduced to great straits and brought into extraordinary difficulties.  He cannot retreat; he cannot go forward; he is shut upon the right hand and on the left.  What is he to do now?

The Master’s word to him is “stand still.”  It will be well for him if, at such times, he listens only to his Master’s word, for other and evil advisors come with their suggestions.

Despair whispers, “Lie down and die; give it all up.”

Cowardice says, “Retreat; go back to the world’s way of action; you cannot play the Christian’s part; it is too difficult.  Relinquish your principles.”

Presumption boasts, “If the sea is before you, march into it.” (L. B. Cowman)

Are you ready to quit?  Have you turned backward?  Have you started moving ahead before it’s time to do so?  Think about it.

And Moses said to the people,
“Do not be afraid.
Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD,
which He will accomplish for you today.
For the Egyptians whom you see today,
you shall see again no more forever.
Exodus 14:13
When you are going through the difficulties of life, remember to stand still.
