Thank you to all who pray for Dad and Mom and for those who still come to read the blog even when there has not been anything posted for a while. The special meetings did go well, and God did a work in many hearts, bringing many to the Savior. Also, there were many baptized.
The Bible says that “All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” (II Timothy 3:12) Glory Independent Baptist Church in Owena has been growing in the Lord and taking a stand for Him. True to the Scripture there has been persecution. The last difficult time was during the baptism after the special meeting Sunday morning, January 12. Tomorrow their time (this evening our time), there is to be another baptism. Please, please pray for the Christians in the villages of Owena and Marivo and for Dad and Mom.
The most urgent times to pray are between 9:00 p.m. tonight our time and 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning our time.
As you pray, here are some verses to think on. Thank you so much for praying.
“For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.” (Isaiah 25:4)
“Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.” (Psalm 55:22)
“And said, O LORD God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?” (II Chronicles 20:6)
God Will Take Care of You
Words: Civilla D. Martin
Music: Walter S. Martin
Be not dismayed whate’er betide,
God will take care of you;
Beneath His wings of love abide,
God will take care of you.
Refrain
God will take care of you,
Through every day, over all the way;
He will take care of you,
God will take care of you.
Through days of toil when heart doth fail,
God will take care of you;
When dangers fierce your path assail,
God will take care of you.
Refrain
All you may need He will provide,
God will take care of you;
Nothing you ask will be denied,
God will take care of you.
Refrain
No matter what may be the test,
God will take care of you;
Lean, weary one, upon His breast,
God will take care of you.
