Though the Lord is high, yet he has respect to every lowly, humbled sinner; but the proud and unbelieving will be banished far from his blissful presence. Divine consolations have enough in them to revive us, even when we walk in the midst of troubles.

And God will save his own people that they may be revived by the Holy Spirit, the Giver of life and holiness.

If we give to God the glory of his mercy, we may take to ourselves the comfort. This confidence will not do away, but quicken prayer.

Whatever good there is in us, it is God works in us both to will and to do. The Lord will perfect the salvation of every true believer, and he will never forsake those whom he has created anew in Christ Jesus unto good works.

God is Good - Choctaw Family & Friends Okay

Wanted to let those of you praying that God is good and all is well! Well, at least for my family members and friends in Choctaw - although, there were people who lost their homes!

I was in touch by phone all evening during the fires with my family members and did have several (5 families) relatives who were evacuated due to the close proximity of the fires.

They were all allowed back in their homes before the night was over, although I'm sure they did not sleep well! Even with all the fires and the devastation - none of the family, nor any of our friends were actually "hit" with damage from the fires.

Thank you to those of you who prayed for the families in Choctaw. Thank you to God the Father for keeping my family safe!


In His Love and Blessings
