December 31st - January 1st
Hard to believe today is the first day of 2010! It's always a relief to read timeless, unchangeable truths when uncertainty and disaster are close at hand.
Psalms 86:12
"I will give thanks to You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and will glorify Your name forever."
Our church family is having a very bitter sweet New Years Day this year. Last night our sister in Christ Rachel Hearn died suddenly. She had only given birth to her first child one week before and her husband of less than one year is grieving terribly, but trusting God.
Please keep Rob and his baby daughter Addy in your prayers! God shows His mercies even through tragedy. We can rejoice that Rachel is now in everlasting bliss, seeing God face to face in all His glory. She will never again feel pain or sorrow, praise God!
Our comfort is that we will see her again in paradise glorified with our Savior Jesus Christ!
1Thessalonians 4:13-18
"But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.
Therefore comfort one another with these words."
Acts 20:32
“And now I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified."
