God Is Not Unjust

God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. — Hebrews 6:10 

God is just.

He is not unjust.

He will not forget our work.

And the Lord will not forget the love we have shown Him.

Through helping his people in all circumstances.

Continue in Him

And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming. — 1 John 2:28 

On Friday, Abby and I went to the zoo for four hours.

It was a beautiful day.

A bit chilly at first, but then it warmed up.

We walked continually, enjoying the plants and animals.

We took the skyride across the zoo at the end of the day and then rode it back.

It drizzled for about 5 minutes or less, but we simply pulled our hoods up over our heads.

The animals were out roaming, so we had a chance to see lots of them.

This is a beautiful secretary bird.

Very fun time together.

Happy New Year!

Be Confident

And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming. — 1 John 2:28

Today Abby's phone died while she was at work.

Mine dies every day or two also.

They are getting old and do not work as well as they did three years ago.

I keep an extra cord with me to charge it at work or in the car.

Of course, our phones are made by humans, who are flawed, so the phones are not perfect either.

But we are fortunate that we do not need a phone or anything to be able to talk to God in prayer.

Our communication line will never die out or fade.

He always listens and even knows our thoughts before we utter them.

How wonderful is that.

When we continue in God, we can be confident before Him at His coming!

Continue in Him

And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming. — 1 John 2:28

Last night we prayed over our pastor, Jerry Andrews, our senior pastor.

Our pastor Jeff did a wonderful job leading us, anointing him with oil, and praying over him.

We asked God for healing, pleading with Him to take away the cancer in Jerry's body.

We also asked Him to forgive us for our unfaithfulness. 

We praised God for caring for us and providing Jerry and his wife Lois to lead our congregation.

God has blessed us with Jerry and Lois and our church family.

We are grateful.
