Praying for my fellow pastors leading local congregations. The pandemic, political unrest, & seismic shifts in our cultural foundations have left our people angry, afraid, & hopeless. May the Spirit of Christ grant an ocean of wisdom, compassion, & courage in our leadership.
For Christ himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in his own body on the cross, he broke down the wall of hostility that separated us.
Eph 2:14 @koomeministries#AriseAwakePray
Jesus’ perfect righteousness is a gift to us in the Gospel. His perfect love drives out our fears. He is perfectly executing the eternal plans of heaven, and the timing of his return will be perfect. In a world of so much imperfection, we’ve got a lot of perfection going for us.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. - Proverbs 3:5-6
When we love and encourage one another with the sincere love of God, we allow God to extend His grace through us. We’re saying, “God, I want to be that person. I want You to use me.”
