“We must support believers who go on trips like this
so that we can work together with them in spreading the truth.”
~3 John 1:8 (GW)~
If you did not get your Operation Christmas Child Shoebox turned in at FBC, Kentwood yesterday, you will still have about two more days before they are delivered to the collection center. Complete your box and take it to the church office with a check for $7.00 to cover shipping. You’ll be blessed!
Another blessing you can have this week is to attend our Third Thursday Share Group at the cabin. We meet at 6:30 for a time of food, fellowship, devotional, and prayer. Nobody is ever put “on the spot”, so feel free to come check it out.
Pray for Carol New as she has knee replacement surgery today.
Continue to pray for the many who have lost loved ones recently as well as those who are not well.
Pray for safety for those who will be traveling in the coming weeks.
Pray for boldness for those who have family members and friends who have not accepted God into their hearts.
Be thankful for all the blessing you and yours have received.

Thought for the Day: He will provide
One Saturday Ken Erickson’s wife cleaned out leftovers from the refrigerator. She gave the one remaining portion of tortellini to their 6-year-old son, Jeremy. Their 8-year-old son, Matthew, also wanted some, so bickering ensued. After several unsuccessful attempts to mediate the dispute, Ken decided on a theological approach. Hoping to convince Jeremy to share his portion with Matthew, he said, “Jeremy, what would Jesus do in this situation?”
Jeremy immediately responded, “Oh, Dad, He would just make more!”
What a beautiful truth — Jesus will provide! I’m not saying that he would have provided for his own personal need (because he never did that in a miraculous way), but time and time again Jesus showed both his willingness and his ability to provide for those who were around him.
It was a truth the apostles needed to learn. Surrounded by thousands of people, Jesus said to them, “Give them something to eat.” (Matthew 14:16). Their answer indicated their recognition that Jesus had asked the impossible. They didn’t have the resources. But Jesus did.
It is a truth we all need to learn. Whatever your need may be, whatever crisis you may be going through, whatever strength you need to cope with the struggles in your life, Jesus will provide. He has both the willingness and the ability to provide for those in need.
“And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19)
Have a great day!

He will provide! Sometimes that’s all people can say about their situation in life. I pray God will use you to “provide for others”.
