Philippians 4:19 – Stand On It!
Too many times we as christians try to “work things out”. We figure, guess, wrangle and see if we can find ways to accomplish what we need when WE WANT IT. God has a different plan. God already knows what we need EVEN BEFORE we do! Such is the case time and again at Life House. Taking on the building we are in was a HUGE undertaking. Remodeling, getting it up to code, getting it useable and functionable seemed almost impossible. As a mission church we knew it would take lots of money, time, energy and more to accomplish all that needed to be accomplished. YET – time and again God keeps on providing what we need – when we need it. We can’t count the times that God has supplied furniture, workmen, chairs, refrigerator, blinds, carpet, paint, wood, – you name it – God has DONE IT! Even today God supplied us with lots of things for our new nursery area – from a sister church in Mena! Also, this church just voted to partner with us – AMEN!!! God is still God and He still knows best. What about you? Have you been struggling wondering how things are going to work out? Why not try living by faith? Why not learn to trust God? God knows what is best and IN HIS TIME and IN HIS WILL – all things will work together for good. (Romans 8:28 is still in the book!). Shame on me for ever trying to “work it out” or “figure it out” — instead I need to completely, totally trust the Lord! Thank you Jesus for all you have done, are doing and going to do in our lives and at Life House! TO GOD BE THE GLORY! Pastor James

Thank you for the reminder!! I need to hear that ALL the time to remind me He is in control of ALL things, church, family and work. Why we so easily forget I will never understand…maybe to keep us humble and searching for His guidence.
Keep in mind every thing God is doing! These few items mentioned do not come close to how much this minstry is touching and changing lives already!!
