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.

Please Pray!

I've been glued to the TV all night because the town Jody's and my home is in, the town where my children grew up, the town where I still have many family members and friends - is burning! There are fires everywhere in Choctaw and it is really heartbreaking to think of all the families that have been and still will be affected by the wildfires.
I have called my family members and checked on them - so far they are all okay, although several have been evacuated from their homes and have moved to homes of other family members. Some are packed up and ready to go at a moment's notice.
I lived in Choctaw for 25 years! I moved from there last year in March. It still, in many ways, feels like home! Our kids are all okay for now and we are in prayer for each and every one there.
Please, if you are willing, take a moment and join us in prayer for everyone who has been affected and those who are still in harms way all over Oklahoma.

In His Love and Blessings
