Psalms 119:105 tells us “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path”.
Grace and peace to the people of God. It is always good to allow the word of God to light our pathway. The bible says the word is good, and indeed He is good.
Well, we have weathered the snow and ice and extremely cold temperatures, and the best is yet to come. It became so cold for me until I was asking people did they have the phone number to call up “summer” (lol). Nevertheless, this is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in them all.
At this time our country is going through some difficult days and some tumultuous times. I admonish you to hear the words of God from 2 Chronicles 7:14,
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
We desperately need God to heal our land. This nation that was built on the foundation and principles of God has gone astray and forsaken Him. Therefore, those of you that know the words of prayer, PRAY! Matthew chapter 24 tells us of the things to happen before Christ returns. Let us be watchful, prayerful and hopeful for our God to convince the people to change. Change their way of thinking, change their way of living and change their hearts to love one another. We are told in Luke 6:31,
“And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.” We must treat people (all people) the way we want to be treated and the way we want our family members to be treated.
People of God it is past time to beseech God to turn things around in this country. It seems there is no regard for God or His Word. Men seem to be like in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah and in the days of Noah, just doing whatever they desire in their hearts. This makes me want to cry out to the Lord and say “COME LORD JESUS”. We have the destruction from the fires, the floods, the snow falling in places that never saw snow before, in addition to men, women and children been apprehended without a cause and held as captives. Let us plead for God to show His hand by having Love and compassion toward ALL people. It makes my heart hurt to know people are afraid to go to work and school and even walk the streets for fear of being wrongly detained. So again I admonish you to Pray for the peace in this country and around the world. Now I say unto you;
Numbers 6:24-26
24 The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:
25 The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
26 The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
In His Service,
The Reverend Marjorie McDaniel
