We had a great time at Harvest Baptist Church last Sunday.
Our granddaughter, Alana Carithers, played some violin solos as special music. They were a blessing to us all.
One great feature last Sunday was the attendance of Anne Kroeker, Wil Kroeker’s mother. She is a member of Harvest Baptist Church but has been gone for eight months, living with her daughter in Kansas. The family decided she would do much better in Colorado, so she came back home to live again with Wil and Terrey. I did not expect to see her in church. But here she came, in her new wheelchair, and was with us for the morning service. She said she really enjoyed being back home with her church family. Welcome, Back, Anne!!!
We all need to pray much for Jan Waters. Her recent scans have shown the cancer has advanced. Pray that she will know the treatment she should take.
This morning my wife and I were reading in Exodus 5 about the taskmasters’ cruel treatment of the Israelites. The officers of the children of Israel went directly to Pharaoh to complain (Ex. 5:6-15-16) There is no doubt they had reason to complain. But they found that Pharaoh had no sympathy for them (Ex. 5:17-19). As we look at it from a distance, we realize the officers of the children of Israel went to the wrong person to present their problem. They should have let Moses speak for them to Pharaoh. Therefore they should have gone to Moses rather than the King of Egypt. Actually the one we all should go to is the Lord.
“What a friend we have in Jesus , all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry everything to god in prayer!
O, what peace we often forfeit, O, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry everything to god i prayer.
Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged. Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus know our every weakness. Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge—take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer.
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee. Take it to the Lord in prayer.”
What a blessing to go directly to the Lord with every problem and care! He is our Great High Priest Who “was in al points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
(Heb. 4:15 (b) & 16).
We will look to see you with us next Sunday at Harvest Baptist Church to worship Him together.
