Saturday

If

my people, who are called by my name,

will humble themselves pray

and seek my face

and turn from their wicked ways,

then

I will hear from heaven,

and I will forgive their sin

and will heal their land.

Yesterday was a difficult weather day.  Thankfully, we in this area did not have any significant problems, but hundreds of people in areas close to our area did.  Please pray for them and then work to help they in they way God wants you to help – prayer, finances, clean-up, rebuilding, yard work, food, etc.  Ask.  God will lead you.

I’m thankful to hear that several local churches have new staff members this week.  May God richly bless both the staff members and the churches.
