Hello John Wesley members and friends,
I have been thinking about Proverbs 30:5 ~ "Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him." There is so much that happens in our lives that we need a shield to protect us from, things we have no control over like Hurricane Dorian and car accidents, emotional hurdles and hurts, family strive and financial challenges, and so much more. But, through it all, God is Sovereign and His word is pure. It holds the peace that we need when we are experiencing the reality of our uncertain lives. Trusting God shouldn’t be an occasional exercise but something that we commit ourselves to do in good times and bad times knowing that God’s love is as pure as God’s word. Hold on to God's unchanging hand by holding on to God’s pure word, because, God’s word will give you strength to face whatever challenges life sends to you.
Blessings,
Pastor Woods-Barrant
