“For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”
Matthew 18:20, ESV
We hold each other accountable to Christ, rebuking, calling out sin, and, especially, encouraging each other to remain faithful to Christ until He returns, in the power of the Holy Spirit.
I think this is the first congregation I have been in without any truckers, but we still have plenty of people who drive a lot. One of our deacons covers the southwest states for work, one is a police officer, and I drive about 200 miles a day 3-4 days a week.
I have known more than 100 truckers in my life. Most love the work, but it can be aggravating and stressful due to bad drivers, rude drivers, and weather conditions, not to mention time restraints on deliveries and time away from families and friends.
Let’s remember them before our God!
Daniel

This Sunday at Church: Pray for those in your church who are truckers
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Romans 8:31, ESV
God has redeemed our lives, therefore no one should be able to intimidate or threaten us with fear of persecution or death. We know they will get what they deserve or join us in eternity with Christ.
And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.“
Luke 9:23-24, ESV
Christ came to save us by taking the cross we deserved, but He asks us to take up our own cross – live like Jesus by sacrificing our wants, desires, comforts, freedoms, and even our lives in radical love for others to show them the love of God.
And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
Philippians 1:6, ESV
We were lost in our sins, but God came to us to redeem us. Now He lives in we who believe, making us more Christ-like.
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
Psalm 91:1-2, ESV
We are surrounded by a world hostile to God and His people, but He has promised to be with us until His physical return when we are together forever. Trust in the One who came to save us and be with us.
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace
Ephesians 1:7, ESV
God came to us when we were in full rebellion against Him that He might save save us through His sacrifice by His grace and love.
