YouTube for Only A Holy God" Praise And Harmony
from Resurrecting God -- The Acapella Company
“I have seen the task which God has given the sons of men
with which to occupy themselves. He has
made everything appropriate in its time.
He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find
out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end.
“I know that there is nothing better for them than to
rejoice and to do good in one’s lifetime; moreover, that every man who eats and
drinks sees good in all his labour – it is the gift of God.
“I know that everything God does will remain forever;
there is nothing to add to it and there is nothing to take from it, for God has
so worked that men should fear Him. That
which is has been already, and that which will be has already been, for God
seeks what has passed by.” Ecclesiastes 3:10-15
“And we urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly,
encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with all men. See that no one repays another with evil for
evil, but always seeks after that which is good for one another and for all
men. Rejoice always; pray without
ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ
Jesus.” I Thessalonians 5:14-18
ONE – Job’s wife summed up the first opinion: ‘Curse God and die!’ Why hold on to a sentimental believe in a
loving God when so much in life conspires together against us! We can easily overlook the underlying issue
of where our primal sense of fairness comes from. What is it about us that we EXPECT the world
to BE fair! The Lord has a purpose for
us and that is to conform us into the image of His beloved Son, and Jesus rarely
had it fair!
Take care, your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene (who
prays for you each morning.)

Isaias and Judith
(Ambassadors for Christ the Philippines) – the Philippines is a
remarkably difficult mission field and Isaias and Judith and their entire
family have maintained a teaching and discipling ministry there for dozens of
years. It is a difficult mission field
for so many reasons. Please take a
moment to visit their new website: https://afcph.org/ to learn more. Pray our Father keep these servants strong,
in good health, safe and supported and that they keep a balance in their
lives. They
need funds badly now. It would only take a moment to send encouragement
to Isaias Catorce, who teaches and leads the groups at icatorce@gmail.com
· J&R – recently had the privilege of sharing the Gospel with them and would appreciate prayers that God uses His words in their hearts to draw them to Him for Eternity!
Pray for those in full-time service
Pray to uphold our Christian leaders – that they never compromise God’s Word, are bold and courageous in the face of evil. Pray for their wisdom, safety, ingenuity, strength and for their families.
Pray for those with ongoing health concerns
Many of us have family, friends and loved ones with fragile health. Pray God takes special care with them and protects them in practical ways and that the Lord will have mercy on them during this challenging time.
