The Lord is always with us!
Whenever we have problems who can we count on? There is one person who is always there for us and that is Jesus. We can always count on him to get us through our everyday problems that we have. Jesus says “but as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior, my God will hear me” Micah 7:7.
There is not a day that goes by that I do not seek God for help. I trust in the Lord and know that he is there for me and everyone else. Jesus says “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go, I will counsel you and watch over you” Psalm 32:8.
There have been many times this year that I have needed his help, it has been a rough year for me. God has been right by my side every step of the way. “Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of Heaven and earth” Psalm 124:8.
We as a congregation have been and some are still going through some tough times, so we need to keep the faith, pray and believe that God will get us through it all.” So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed for I am your God; I will strengthen you and help you; I will hold you with my righteous and right hand” Isaiah 41:10.
I truly believe that we as a congregation will continue to grow and that we will all be okay. So many good things are already happening here at Immanuel. We are having Worship unplugged, Women’s Bible study and a Book Club is on the agenda. These are just a few things as there is more planned for us. We are being led in the direction that we need to go to grow. God has the wheel so let him take us in the direction that we need to go and have trust and faith that he will get us where we need to be. Jesus says “If you believe, all things are possible to him that believes” Mark 9:23.
