​Scripture of the Week:
​
Psalm 63 

A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah.
God, You are my God;
I search for You,
my soul thirsts for You,
my body yearns for You,
as a parched and thirsty land that has no water.
I shall behold You in the sanctuary,
and see Your might and glory,
Truly Your faithfulness is better than life;
my lips declare Your praise.
I bless You all my life;
I lift up my hands, invoking Your name.
I am sated as with a rich feast,
I sing praises with joyful lips
when I call You to mind upon my bed,
when I think of You in the watches of the night;
for You are my help,
and in the shadow of Your wings
I shout for joy.
My soul is attached to You;
Your right hand supports me.
May those who seek to destroy my life
enter the depths of the earth.
May they be gutted by the sword;
may they be prey to jackals.
But the king shall rejoice in God;
all who swear by Him shall exult,
when the mouth of liars is stopped.

Just a quick thought

These days are getting rougher and rougher do deal with. Friends, as we enter into the next era for this country with decisions on who will be the new figure head there are some things we need to consider. Scripture informs us that God wants us to obey those in authority over us because He has plans for us. We may not like it but in the case coming up this November we need to remember that the new leader is just a figurehead who should make right and proper decisions for the good of the people and not their own selfish desires. The issues that come into his or her hands should not be concerning the needs of the one or two but for the safety of  our country and our way of life.
Our ultimate leader is God. He has already given us His standards of living and those are what we should abide by. When God's law is overruled by man's decisions we must not sit idly by and let it happen which is what many have done. God tells us to love one another just as He has loved us so what does that mean? Do we give in to their whims of fancy? No. Do we tell them it is okay to sin? No. Our love to our neighbor is one of loyalty and trust, a sharing of God's Word in His loving kindness. A humble leaning to listen while they open up in their pain. It is sharing in the joy of childbirth and being the shoulder for when someone dies. It is Caring, Sharing, Helping, Chiding.
​When we do our civic duty and vote we must choose wisely even with the knowledge that this government is ran by the person who could raise enough funds to buy the electorates. We need to reach into the heart of the electoral college (through prayer) that they make the decision based on merit and not the idol of money. Stay strong in faith and love. God will guide us.

​May Jesus come soon and provide for us the Way as it was in the time He walked the earth with Adam. Pray for discernment that our leaders will rely on faith and not false idols.
God's Grace and Mercy be with you all,
​ Pastor Rob
