Trust in the Lord
Author: Rev. Dr. Stan Thompson
Psalm 37:3 “Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.” (NLT)
My friends, we certainly are living in uncertain times. It seems as if danger lurks all around us. Covid-19, social unrest, social distancing, unemployment, and homelessness suggest I be afraid. Yet is this not the exact setting in which the good news about Jesus propels me forward to fulfill the call of God on my life? I say, yes it is! When people face dire circumstances, hope can be found in the people of God. We are called to lead the way. My friends, in the face of adversity, we cannot give up, we cannot give in, we cannot compromise our faith. We must fulfill our call, we must be faithful to the very end, and we will have the victory. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, amen.
