Our communities need our prayers now more than ever. These fires have affected many families and their livelihoods. In all this disaster I see the Lord working. Our first responders have been active in the field giving it their best. So many people in the community have rallied together to bring support. So many day shelters have been established. He is working! We need to keep praying! There is power in prayer and our communities need that power now. I'm reminded this morning of the promise in Psalm 148:13-14
Let them all praise the name of the Lord.
For His name is very great;
His glory towers over the earth and heaven!
He has made His people strong,
honoring His faithful ones—
the people of Israel who are close to Him
Praise the lord!
The psalmist here tells us of two great promises.
One is that the Lord makes strong those who are close to Him. In any time of danger we know that we will be strengthened by coming close to Him.
The second is that the Lord honors His faithful ones. So in this promise we know that as we pray for the winds to stop, the fires to turn off, the firefighters & families to be protected, and healing to come to those whom have been affected, we know that God will honor our prayers because we are His faithful ones and He honors His faithful ones.
WellSpring lets continue to bring the power of prayer!
God bless,
Pastor David
