Strength and honor are her clothing, and she can laugh at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom and loving instruction is on her tongue.
Proverbs 31:25-26, HCSB
God is faithful. It gives us hope and courage whatever comes, and He gives His faithfulness to His Church, all who truly call on the name of Christ, the faithful one.
We have a few people who can cover the music in an emergency, and we have easy access to a couple other people who can usually step in. It is nice, especially with our music pastor out of town the next two Sundays. It usually makes for a nice change of pace. One time, all our usual people were traveling together! The man who filled in played songs we normally avoid, and it could be felt. I am also thankful for a gracious congregation who was kind, but that person was removed from any list of possible cover. Let us always be grateful for others who can help lead our worship services.

But the Lord is faithful; He will strengthen and guard you from the evil one.
2 Thessalonians 3:3, HCSB
God is faithful. We can trust Him in all things, even when life seems too hard. He helps in temptation, forgives sin, and prepares a place for us in eternity.
So we do not focus on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:18, HCSB
God became a man to redeem us from evil, separation, and death and into friendship by His own death on a cross, and now we await His return and the Kingdom that no human eye can see.
But when you give to the poor, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing
Matthew 6:3, HCSB
God became a man to make the spiritually poor His friends, so we also should treat all sorts of poor as friends with the love of Christ and not for personal glory.
Let me experience Your faithful love in the morning, for I trust in You. Reveal to me the way I should go because I long for You.
Psalm 143:8, HCSB
God became a man to show us the way to eternal life and call those who find Him “friend.” Let us call on the Friend of sinners and find His faithful love daily.
“Haven’t I commanded you: be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9, HCSB
The opposite of love is fear, and God became one of us to restore the relationship between humanity and God. We know we are His friends when we not only believe in Christ but trust that He will fulfill His promises in this life and for the next, being able to not fear but face all this lofe has.
Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good.
Romans 12:21, HCSB
Humanity tends toward evil, separating family and friends, but God came to us and conquered the evils of death, suffering, and separation through the cross. When we believe in Christ, He calls us His friends and empowers us to overcome evil, too.
The Lord does not delay His promise, as some understand delay, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish but all to come to repentance.
2 Peter 3:9, HCSB
We go through this world awaiting the return of Christ, knowing Christ has called us friends and is waiting for more to hear His call. Let us spread the good news of Jesus’ call and forgiveness.
Let us pray forinimal casualties, evil to be stopped (or at least slowed down!), and for opportunities for the gospel to be shared. May there be wisdom from leaders and for the Church at this time.
