Endings - Shall Be Given

“Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, since I know that you will do even more than what I say. And at the same time also prepare me a lodging; for I hope that through your prayers I shall be given to you. Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow workers. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.” Philemon 21-25

Today, I called home to speak with Barb, my sister-in-law (closer than a sister), to comfort her as she was made redundant from the only job she’s ever had in a company she’s faithfully served for 33 years. We were both in shock that this happened, but strange when you are a Christian, you CAN find the Lord’s hand even in the most frightening of circumstances. Please pray for Barb and Tim with me.

“And we KNOW that God Causes ALL things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28

“’For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29 11-13

Stay near God's Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene
