Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
We’ve learned through 1 Samuel 30, that the enemy had sacked David’s life. It caused great sorrow and pain, but he didn’t stay in that place. We’ve seen how David strengthened himself in His God... then how He inquired of His God.
The next thing we find David do is obey. Following the time of prayer and praise, David sets out to pursue those who had stolen from him. He took a wild step of faith, expecting God to lead, guide, and protect him.
Enough of this sitting around in pain and anguish, I’m going to grab my Bible and encourage myself in Jesus Christ. That encouragement always brings a desire to hear more from God, so I will cry out to Him from the depths of my heart. With that cry always comes God’s answer; so as I hear, I will do.
Lifted from discouragement is God’s desire for your life. Tough times certainly come. The enemy of our souls most certainly wants to take us down. But Jesus, the captain of our souls, stands ready to encourage, answer, and direct us. Wow! How wonderful is He!
In His Love,
Pastor Ed

Well I'm pretty sure you already know this story. I called Gino's show one day when you were on and I was crying, because I was looking for a Bible believing church. You talked to me off the air and you were so loving and compassionate that I gathered my courage to try one more church, Calvary Aurora, and I have found that there are Calvary churches all over the globe that use their Bibles in church and love their members. Thank you for your faithfulness. May God richly bless this ministry and the work you do.
