VERSES THAT HELPED ME

Today is Friday.  It is supposed to be a beautiful day and I certainly hope so.  It has been rainy so far this week.  The weekend is going to be sunny and nice and I'm looking forward to that.  Here is a truth for today:

VERSES THAT HELPED ME- Over 27 years ago, when I was praying about moving to the Portland area to start a church.  In thinking about moving 2,300 miles away to a place I had never been to start a new church, I must admit, I had concerns.  I was taking everything I owned with my wife and two children at the time to a far off land I had never seen, only read about.  I had did my homework on the area, but still I did not know what it even looked like.  This was before the internet mind you.  I had some fears that I kept to myself.  Outwardly I was very confident, but inwardly these fears persisted.  But, God used these verses in a special way.  Isaiah 41:13,14- "For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. (14) Fear not, thou worm Jacob,..."  These verses spoke to me so clearly, so many years ago... and they still do today!  God will help us!  God says "fear not"!  Though we feel but like a worm... God will help us and hold our right hand to help us through each trial.  Take heart dear Christian!

Hope this helped you like it helps me.  Pastor Mike Mutchler
