But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
1 John 1:7, ESV
God has said He will be with us, and this is seen in living with the Church, helping each other, encouraging each other, and together worshiping the One who has saved us by Jesus’ blood.
We hired a secretary this year, and it has been so helpful. We tell her frequently how grateful we are for her, but it is a good reminder to keep showing our gratitude!
Pray for church secretaries, too, because they face many obstacles and spiritual attacks, too!

Vote (if you are able), or don’t complain (because you did not take part in the process, and Philippians 2:14-16). Pray for our leaders to do well and even turn to Christ. Pray that the election can be reasonable.

Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.
Malachi 3:10, ESV
God is changing this world for His glory, and He is doing it through the Church. We give to the Church to spread His glory, and He is faithful to the Church and thus His people who give.
As stated before, I have family and friends in the Helene corridor. Thankfully, they are all fine, though I hear many of those living outside of cities are still living without power.
I have several friends in Florida, too, and they are all okay, but they have also been talking about a lot of the destruction. Those with kids are not expecting schools to be open for at least most of this next week.

So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
Galatians 6:10, ESV
The cost of following Jesus is getting over ourselves, and we should therefore treat others the way Jesus treated us, with sacrificial love, especially within the Church.
I also have family in the North/South Carolina area, having heard of loss of power and cell signal for days (power still out for a lot of people), and gas stations out of gas. The town my brother-in-law was married in in Georgia had many trees uprooted/knocked over.
Thankfully, everyone I know is alright, but they can’t do a lot of cooking at home either due to power constraints or having had to empty their fridges, so they are utilizing the restaurants that have power to get food. Naturally, this is costing extra money.
Let us pray for a quick recovery, wisdom and peace for those affected, and communities to work together well.

“You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
Luke 12:40, ESV
God takes care of us, most importantly by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. The Church now prepares the world for His imminent return to judge the world.
For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.”
Isaiah 41:13, ESV
God takes care of us, first by His mighty right hand and also by His Church, the Body of Christ.
