“Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears;

wealth from hard work grows over time.”

~Proverbs 13:11 (NLT)~

Don’t forget to pack your shoebox(es) of Operation Christmas Child.   Touch a young life with joy from the gifts and with God though a message in the appropriate language for the child.  Collection date is November 14 at FBC, Kentwood.

East Fork Baptist church is having a garage sale tomorrow with the funds they collect going to missions.  Stop by and shop knowing the money you spend will be used to further the Gospel.  I applaud them for doing this with such an unselfish motive.  What a lesson they are learning!  What a difference they are making!

Have a fantastic day!

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

Mike Benson, Editor

DANIEL WAS A man of integrity with no weak spots, no scandals, and no sins that his enemies could identify…

And when King Darius came into power during Israel’s 70-year captivity, he relied on Daniel’s wise, insightful counsel. Yet there were others who didn’t like this Hebrew prophet.

Because Daniel had a habit of praying openly every day, his enemies convinced King Darius to foolishly sign a law that would prohibit prayer to anyone except the king. The penalty for breaking this law was being thrown into a den of lions. Sure enough, Daniel prayed as he always had, and it was reported to Darius. The frustration for the king was that as powerful as he was, he couldn’t change a law that he himself had set into motion. So Daniel was sent to die in a den of lions.  I find it interesting that while the child of God was in the den of lions safe in God’s care (Daniel 6:22), the faithless man in the palace with all its luxuries was up and worried and stressed out (v. 18).

And so it is for the person who puts his or her trust in God. When we are worrying, we are really saying that God isn’t in control, that God is not paying attention. When we worry, we are not trusting in the providence of God.

And what is the providence of God? It is the belief that God is in control of the universe.  Greg Laurie

“Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.”

~Psalm 56:3~

Life presents new issues every day.  It’s so comforting to know God is with us as we face those issues.  I know you are as thankful for His presence as I am.

“Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.”

~Psalm 56:3~
