Pastor's Daily Briefing: 3.30.2020

In my desperation I prayed, and the LORD listened; he saved me from all my troubles (Psalm 34:6).

Sometimes we have to be desperate enough to cry out before the Lord for help. It's not that God does not listen. He looks at whether we truly mean what we pray and we pray what we truly mean.

Just a couple of reminders:

• Let's be proactive about our health to boost our immune system, exercise, and eat healthy (that one may be difficult!). But we are in for the long haul. We are not only to be spiritually ready but physically fit as well. We can always ask God to give us good health, but we need to eat healthy and exercise :)

• If we look around us or read the news, things can be depressing. But if we look up and realize how big and powerful God is, we can be calm and steady. Let's fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher our faith.

With many negative news swirling around, the good news of salvation still rings loud and clear. Jesus still saves. Jesus still forgives. Jesus still rescues. And He is coming back soon! --
