The Tabernacle Today

When God Calls

Today we are going to see Jesus take notice of a man and call Him to an eternal relationship with Himself. But in this encounter and what follows we also see that Jesus satisfies all of our human needs.

Our sin nature leads to sin choices that leads to brokenness in all of the areas we just described. When we receive Jesus, we become spiritually alive. As we intentionally follow Him, the rest of changes as well.

Matthew 9:9-13

We are living in the days between the Great Command (Matt. 28) and the Great Multitude (Rev. 5 & 7); these are the days of the Great Pursuit! Before Matthew went out on the Great Pursuit Jesus pursued Matthew!

Jesus modeled our Great Pursuit - V.9a

When Matthew wrote his gospel, he didn’t organize it in a time sequence, but by common themes. Perhaps he puts his “Jesus pursued me” moment here because in the next chapter Jesus sent the twelve out to pursue others. What he did for them they were to do to others.

In the people’s eyes, tax collectors were “Benedict Arnold” Jews. They worked for the Roman occupiers collecting taxes from their own people. They were notorious for overcharging and pocketing the difference.

In showing Jesus pursue Matthew the tax collector for salvation, the Bible is making very clear that no matter how bad your sin is in the eyes of the world, Jesus wants you to turn to Him and be saved.

When God calls, you open your mind and heart to him - V. 9b

Maybe Matthew had been thinking about Jesus with an accountant’s mind, the kind of mind that the Holy Spirit later used to give us this gospel. Matthew probably didn’t have an out-front kind of personality like Peter, but he could sift through details well.

When the gospels mention Matthew by that name or his name Levi, he is always listed 7th or 8th down the list of disciples. Not everyone can be first, but God uses everyone on His team!

When God calls, you open your home! - V. 10-13

Matthew the sinner had been saved, and he wanted his fellow sinners to be saved. So he opened his home and threw a party so other people like him could meet Jesus!

Not every sinner who hears the gospel will respond in repentance and faith – but every sinner should get to meet and spend time with Christians who can introduce them to the love of Jesus.

The Pharisees didn’t understand that they were actually the worst sinners there that day – their sin of pride that led to their judgmental spirit was actually keeping them from seeing their own need as sinners.

Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes go into the kingdom of God before you.” - Matt. 21:31b

“The gospel says you are simultaneously more sinful and flawed than you ever dared believe, yet more loved and accepted than you ever dared hope.” - Tim Keller

Psalm 69 Worksheet

We come now to the _______________________ Psalm in Book 2 of the Psalms, the 9th longest Psalm of the 150 in the Psalter.

The Heading tells us it was written by David for the Chief Musician to use in worship, and like Psalm 45 set to “the lilies.” The Hebrew word for lilies is Shoshannim, which could also refer to a six-stringed instrument.

We see in David’s lament and prayer a sense that after suffering there will be ______________________, and many words in this Psalm are referred to in the New Testament about things Christ went through, making it a Messianic Psalm.

Read Psalm 69

What does David compare his suffering to in verses 1-2?

It makes you wonder whether David as a shepherd boy or soldier had ever been caught up in flood conditions and experienced their devastation.

David had cried tears until he was wore out, and his throat has gotten sore from crying out for deliverance, but it had not come. The last part may be a way of saying, “I’m dying here hoping for God to save me” (Verse 3).

Jesus quoted verse 4 in reference to Himself in John 15:25.

Verse 5 makes us think of the omniscience of God – God _____________________ our foolishness and our sins are not hidden from Him. In the Psalm David will appeal to God for mercy (v. 13) and lovingkindness (v. 16).

I like David’s train of thought – “God, you know I am a sinner; I know you receive repentant sinners who cry out to you!”

John may have been thinking of Psalm 69:8 when he wrote in John 7:3-5 that even Jesus’ brothers did not believe in Him. And John definitely quoted verse 9 about Jesus’ zeal for the purity of Temple worship.

A lot of David’s suffering also parallels Job’s suffering.

Job 19:13-15; Job 17:6 compared to Psalm 69:11

Despite the ____________________________ of even family and the mocking of drunkards, David appeals to God’s mercy.

I hope part of what you do during the week is _____________________ for people with heavy hearts who think no one cares like David describes himself (verse 20). May we say to someone this week in word and deed, “I care, and God cares.”

All four gospels cite verse 21 as they record the events of Golgotha/ Calvary (Matt. 27:34, 48; Mark 15:23; Luke 23:36; John 19:28-30).

Several of the curses on the wicked are referred to in the New Testament. Verses 22-23 are used by Paul in Romans 11:9-10 as Paul speaks of God’s vindication of a godly _________________________ who believe as opposed to “the rest” who were blinded. Jesus also used verse 23 in reference to the generation that rejected Him (Matt. 23:38; Luke 13:35).

Who did Peter apply verse 25 to in Acts 1:20?

Verse 26 is an interesting allusion to God’s sovereignty: “They persecute the ones You have struck.” It makes us think of how God ___________________________ Job’s sufferings, but his ‘friends’ interpreted that suffering as sin-based and ‘persecuted him.’ Of course it also makes us think of Jesus, slain before the foundation of the world (1 Pet.1:20; Rev. 13:8).

Genesis 50:20

Romans 8:28

Craig Gilreath – “Nothing happens to me that doesn’t first come across God’s desk!”

Verse 28 is another reference to the Book of Life. Those in “right standing” with God through faith will be in the Book and are citizens of Heaven, the wicked who _________________________ God will not be (Rev. 20:11-15).

Let your testimony be the same as verse 29 –

That’s what happened to Jesus – God the Son, the Son of Man returns to Heaven after suffering with glorified human flesh!

The last 7 verses go from the suffering of the “cross” to the triumph of “________________________.” In these last verses the meek, the weak, the needy and despised who know the Lord are all vindicated!

Verse 32 is a good verse to underline, circle, and continually meditate on!

Verse 34 makes us think of Romans 8:21 and Acts 3:19-21.

Why Christians Support Israel

4 Reasons I would support Israel even if I wasn’t a Christian:

First, after the horrors of the holocaust and Adolph Hitler’s genocide of 6 million plus Jews, the civilized world agreed that Jews should finally have their own home country to live in after centuries of persecution.

Second, it makes the most sense for that homeland to be right where Israel is. They have a historical claim on that land going back to 1405 B.C.

Third, Israel has become one of the world’s best democracies. It is the best place in the Middle East to be anything but a follower of Sharia Law.

Fourth, Israeli citizens and other Jews have made momentous contributions to the world.

“The problem is that one side has supported a two-state solution – I’m talking about Israel. The other side never did and still doesn’t. One side uses terrorism to achieve its goals – the other side retaliates against terrorism. One side is accused of genocide but doesn’t do it; the other side would actually love to do it. People keep saying Israel has the right to defend itself, but when Israel does, they object to it.” - Bill Mahar

Biblical reasons to support Israel:

First, our Christian faith is rooted in God’s dealings with Israel.

Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” - Genesis 12:1-3

And I will give to you and to your offspring after you the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God. - Genesis 17:8

Being the nation to bring the Law and the Messiah into the world is not just the greatest blessing for the nation that was chosen, but also the greatest burden any nation has ever had to bear.

And now the LORD says. Who formed Me from the womb to be His servant, to bring Jacob back to Him (For I shall be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and My God shall be My strength). Indeed He says, “It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You as a light to the Gentiles, that You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth.” - Isaiah 49:5-6

But some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree. Do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are remember IT IS NOT YOU WHO SUPPORT THE ROOT, BUT THE ROOT THAT SUPPORTS YOU. - Romans 11:17-18

As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers, For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. - Romans 11:28-29

Second, there are prophecies related to Israel being fulfilled, and that are yet to be fulfilled.

Then I will remember my covenant with Jacob, and I will remember my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land. But the land shall be abandoned by them and enjoy its Sabbaths while it lays desolate without them, and they shall make amends for their iniquity, because they spurned my rules and their soul abhorred my statutes. YET FOR ALL THAT, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not spurn them, neither will I abhor them so as to utterly destroy them utterly and break my covenant with them, for I am the Lord their God. But I will for their sake remember the covenant with their forefathers, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God: I AM the LORD. - Lev. 26:42-45

Third, it really is a timeless principle that God will bless those who bless Israel, and curse those who curse Israel.

It is All Easy for Jesus - Matthew 9:1-8

There are no better friends than ones who will “carry” you to Jesus believing Jesus can change your temporary and eternal situations!

We are in the section in Matthew between Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount (Chapters 5-7) and His sending out of the 12 on a short-term mission trip (Ch. 10). He was teaching them to see people with physical and spiritual needs through His eyes, and be ready to reach out to them.

No rest for the weary - V. 1-2a

Capernaum was a town located on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee, 680 feet below sea level. New Orleans is 7 feet below sea level. About 1500 people lived there (Capernaum) in the first century.

Now we have seen that Jesus modeled carving time into His day to rest and recharge, and we should too. But to walk in the Spirit includes being able to switch gears and take time to minister to a need at hand.

Jesus responds to faith - V. 2b

No one is going to be saved who doesn’t personally trust Jesus, but salvation testimonies often include the faith of others who “carried” the person to Jesus – in prayer, in their vehicle, in a wagon, on a stretcher.

If someone carried you to Jesus, make sure you thank them again. If they are in heaven, tell someone else about them and this passage before 24 hours pass!

This verse tells us that Jesus responds to faith! The man must have been more concerned for his spiritual needs than his physical needs, because Jesus deals with his need for forgiveness of sins first!

Jesus rebukes evil-hearted unbelieving scoffers - V. 3-5

To the scribe’s credit, they understood that in a very real sense, every sin is first against God. For If there was no God, then it would be nonsense to talk about sin at all.

“If there is no God, all things are permissible." - Dostoevsky

Against You, You only, have I sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that you are justified in Your words and blameless in Your judgment. - Psalm 51:4

The scribes understood that only God can forgive sin. They did not believe that Jesus was God, so they accused Jesus of blasphemy in their hearts. But since Jesus is God the Son, their thoughts were evil rejection of God.

They couldn’t forgive sins OR heal somebody – neither was easy for mere humans. But what is not easy for humans is easy for Jesus, because this Son of Man is also the Son of God, God the Son.

Our Lord Jesus has Heaven’s authority to forgive sin - V. 6-8

There’s that divine title for Jesus again – the Son of Man. And there’s that word authority again – Exousia (G1849) – Jesus has the right, authority, and power to forgive sins! When we come to Him in faith, He exercises His Exousia in our lives.

“I saw in the night visions, and behold with the clouds of heaven there came one like a Son of Man, and He came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before Him. And to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him; His dominion (LXX-Exousia) is an everlasting dominion (LXX- Exousia), which shall not pass away, and His kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.” - Daniel 7:13-14

The thing the fearful and marveling crowd all needed to remember and act on is the same thing we need to act on with faith in Jesus – “Repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand!”

Psalm 68 Worksheet

Psalm 68 is tied for the tenth longest Psalm in the Psalms (with Psalm 104). It is the _______________ Psalm in Book 2 of the Psalms (only Psalm 69 is longer).

Another thing that makes Psalm 68 difficult is that in the original Hebrew ________________ words occur that don’t occur anywhere else in the Hebrew Old Testament!

The theme that seems to tie Psalm 68 together is praising God for past victories and anticipating future deliverances. Many scholars believe there are references to the ______________________ of the covenant being brought to Jerusalem (2 Sam. 6) and then into battle against the Amorites (2 Sam. 11).

Names of God:

Elohim occurs _______________ times! Lord (Adonai) occurs 6 times.

Yah in verse 4 is short for Yahweh; LORD (Yahweh) is in verse 16; The God (Ha’El) occurs twice.

The Almighty (El Shaddai) is in verse 14; LORD God (Yahweh Elohim) is in verse 18.

GOD the Lord (Yahweh Adonai) is in verse 20; God of our salvation (El Mo-shaw-aw) is in verse 20.

<><

Highlights of the Psalm:

No matter how courageous we are we need like David in verses 1-2 to appeal to God to rise up and deal with enemies we are fighting _________________________ we are His people.

Remembering past deliverances and appreciating victories to come, verses 3-4 picture a grateful people praising the Lord!

Verse 4 makes me think of ________________’s vision in chapter 7 of the Son of Man coming on the clouds!

Now when there is war and you lose some soldiers to death, what do you have back on the home front?

We also know that there is an epidemic of _______________________ in our day – look at God’s beautiful statement in verse 6 – “God sets the solitary in families.” In Israel the tribes took care of their own; churches are called to do the same!

Starting in verse 7 David rehearses God’s history since the Exodus of ________________________ for their needs, even in the wilderness.

God marching through the wilderness may be an illusion to the Ark going out with the people as they moved and defended themselves from attacks.

Mount Sinai holds a special role for Israel because there the ___________________ was given, including the

Can anyone tell me what italicized words mean in your translation?

There is beautiful poetic image given as David makes His point in verses 15-16. He could just say that Mount Zion (Jerusalem) had a special role in God’s plan for Israel as it became the home of the Ark . Instead, he pictures Bashan and other “trans-Jordan” mountain peaks being ____________________ of Sinai and Zion for their special roles in God’s plans.

The Lord is among God’s human and angelic warriors (verse 17) now in Zion (Jerusalem) as He was at Sinai, in the holy place that contains the Ark. You can see David anticipating the coming ________________ home for the Ark of the Covenant.

Verse 18 makes us think of David receiving tribute from defeated foes in His day. Do you remember how Paul later uses this verse in Ephesians 4:8?

No wonder verse 19 says that God loads us with benefits, including salvation (v. 19) and escape from death (v. 20). But God will wound His enemies (v. 21), including those critics from Bashan (v. 22-23).

In verses 24-27 David pictures the great day when the Ark finally came to its resting place in Jerusalem amidst much fanfare and praise. Why do you think David mentions the four specific tribes he does in verse 27.

In verses 29-32 David anticipates future worship at the Temple in Jerusalem, with hints of Christ’s future millennial ________________________ from Jerusalem sprinkled in.

Kings will bring presents to you – The Queen of Sheba did that after Solomon finished the Temple, and we are told others did.

Verse 32 calls for the Kingdoms of the earth to join in in praising this God of Israel AND the kingdoms of the earth – the Messiah King of Israel will be the King of the world. No wonder that verse 33 brings back the idea of Him _________________________ on the very Heaven of heavens!

So You Want to Follow Jesus!

In the past few messages, we have seen that Jesus is Lord over the Moral and Physical Realms. Today we will see that He is also Lord over the Spiritual Realm, and He can exercise that authority anywhere He wants. And we are also getting to see Jesus train His followers so that they will one day be ready to exercise the Kingdom authority He delegates to us.

Read Matthew 8:18-34

Jesus is also going over to the “other side” - V. 18-19

Jesus, who would later call us to go into all the world here modeled going to the “other side.” Why? Because people over there need Jesus also!

Following Jesus will take you out of your comfort zone - V. 20

“I saw in the night visions, and behold with the clouds of heaven there came one like a Son of Man, and He came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before Him. And to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him; His dominion (LXX-Exousia) is an everlasting dominion (LXX- Exousia), which shall not pass away, and His kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.” - Daniel 7:13-14

Let me ask you a question – will you keep following Jesus if down the line it means giving up your dream house for greater service of Him?

Following Jesus is for now, not later - V. 21-22

So more than likely, what the man was saying to Jesus is what a lot of you have been saying to Jesus. “Lord, I fully intend to do more for you, but first I need to…”

There are times that following Jesus is inconvenient. But following Jesus when He is asking for obedience is essential to being blessed in all the ways God wants us to bless us! Delayed obedience is disobedience.

Following Jesus will stretch your faith - V. 23-27

Some of you think that every time you go through a storm you have done something wrong and God must be judging you. But you may be doing something right, like Job was in the Old Testament.

Others of you know storms come, but every time one does you complain to God and say, “Are you there God, do you care God?”

I don’t know all that this means, but I know this – Jesus will allow your faith to be stretched by circumstances you can’t handle in your own strength. And He will let you face those circumstances longer than you think He should to grow your trust in Him.

Following Jesus will mean ministry among the spiritually oppressed - V. 28-34

The other side is often Satan’s territory, and he does not like it when Christians leave their church ‘embassies of Heaven’ and go toward the gates of Hell.

The demons knew that their eventual home was going to be the Lake of Fire, and many demons were already in Hades. They would rather stay on earth than go there. The ‘time’ is connected to a place – they were on their way to Hell, and currently had these 2 poor souls going there with them.

Then He will say to those on His left, “Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the Devil and his angels." - Matt. 25:41

Jesus was showing He was and is Lord over the spiritual realm – casting out demons! He is Lord of every realm - doctrinal, physical, spiritual – Have you submitted to His Lordship in your life?

The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with Him, but Jesus sent Him away, saying, “Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you.” And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him. -Lk. 8:38-39

Psalm 66 Worksheet

After 15 Psalms in a row attributed to David (Psalm 51-65), no author is given for Psalm 66. This is the first of __________ anonymous Psalms in Book 2 (Psalms 42-72) so far. Psalms 42-50 were either by the Sons of Korah or Asaph (Psalm 43 is also anonymous, but is an extension of Psalm 42).

Like Psalm 65 we looked at last time, Psalm 66 is a ____________________ Psalm, inviting us to glorify God our Creator and Redeemer.

As we read the Psalm, look for a shift from the second and third person (you, we, us, our) to the first person (I, me, my).

All the __________________________ is called to worship God V. 1-4

Notice we are not to sing out honoring ourselves, but honor and worship of God. Don’t ever forget the root of worship is declaring the _______________________ of our wonderful God!

Despite the power of Israel’s enemies, the Psalmist affirms that God is more ____________________ than all His enemies, and one day all His enemies will bow before Him (Philippians 2:9-11).

I love that the Psalmist anticipates not only the eventual submission of all God’s enemies, but the eventual worship of God from everyone around the world that turns to God (Rev. 5:9-10; 7:9-10).

_______________________ is called to worship God V. 5-7

What two events in Israel’s history are referred to in verse 6?

The ________________________ from Egyptian bondage (Exodus 14:21)

The _________________________ into the Promised Land (Joshua 3:16)

The meaning of verse 7 is clear: God will eventually deal with all the enemies of Israel, as He did Pharaoh and powerful Egypt in the past.

God has _______________________ us through times of trouble before V. 8-15

The next verses are going to recall how God has used past times of adversity, largely brought on by Israel’s own unfaithfulness to the Lord. But Israel is called to bless God for not giving up on His people, even when He has had to ___________________________ His people!

But He knows the way that I take; When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold. -Job 23:10

Adverse circumstances are like the heat of the Refiner’s fire – God is like the metal smith who holds on to us in the fire, and pulls us out better than when we went in.

When Israel was bound and determined to sin, God’s judgment began passively. He let them do what they were bound and determined to do. But that meant they would face the built in ___________________ of their sin. They turned to the gods of other nations and engaged in their sinful practices. As judgment God removed His hand of protection and let those other nations defeat them. They got to see firsthand how evil those gods were.

But just as in days of old God was ready to deliver them as they turned back to Him. They has passed through the Refiner’s fire and water, and the Psalmist was _____________________ that God giving them over to their sins for a season (Romans 1) didn’t mean that God had given up on them!

The ______________________ to testify with lips and focused lives V. 16-20

The Psalmist _________________________ that all those who revere God like he now does will “Love to hear the story” of what God has done for him!

Psalm 66:18 needs to be ________________________ whenever we teach on prayer. For our prayers to be effective, we must love God and hate sin. The person who confesses his sin will be forgiven by God, and must seek to forsake it. If we still love sin in our heart, we will be double-minded and our prayers will be ineffective.

The Psalmist is not claiming to be sinless – he is saying that his confession of sin was caught up, his desire was to love God and hate sin, and he felt power in his prayer closet he had not known during days of sinful ________________________.

Jesus is Lord of the Physical Realm

Affirmation:

When the child of God

Looks into the word of God

And sees the Son of God,

They are transformed by the Spirit of God

Into the image of God

For the glory of God.

-Warren Wiersbe

The work of Mechanics and Doctors makes me think of Jesus as the Great Physician. Today’s passage shows 3 instances of Jesus healing people, showing that He is the Lord of the Physical Realm.

Matt. 8:1-17

When you are reading in the Bible, you need to be looking at 2 things at once. One is what God wants to teach you from the passage you are in about living by faith in Him. The other is how this passage advances the “Big Idea” being made in that Book and the Bible’s ‘Meta-narrative.’

The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ (Messiah), the son of David, the son of Abraham. - Matthew 1:1

Recap of Matthew’s gospel so far:

- Jesus’ genealogy proves His legal claim to be the Messiah (1:1-17)

- Jesus’ virgin birth means He was born without a sin nature (1:18-25)

- Jesus’ fulfilled prophecies only the Messiah could fulfill, attested to by wise men who worshipped Him and angels who protected Him (2:1-23)

- John the Baptist’s ministry and testimony about Jesus fulfilled prophecy about the Messiah having a ‘forerunner’ like Elijah (3:1-12)

- Jesus’ baptism by John the Baptist showed the Triune God’s plan was unfolding (3:13-17)

- Jesus’ overcoming Satan’s temptations was part of Him living an absolutely sinless life, making Him able to save as a perfect, acceptable sacrifice (4:1-11)

- The beginning of His public ministry showed Him blessing the region of Galilee, just as Isaiah the Prophet had said would happen (4:12-22)

And He went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every affliction among the people. - Matthew 4:23

- Jesus’ sermon on the mount proved He was the Lord over the moral and doctrinal realm (Chapters 5-7).

And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at His teaching, for He was teaching as one who had AUTHORITY, and not as their scribes. - Matthew 7:28-29

The word for authority is the Greek word exousia (G 1849), which occurs 103 times in the New Testament. It can be translated as power, authority, and right. It is used of God’s liberty to do as He pleases.

But as many as received Him, He gave the right (exousia) to become children of God. - John 1:12

Jesus heals a social outcast of his skin disease - V. 1-4

Ancient Israel did not have a Center for Disease Control; the Book of Leviticus told priests what to do when someone in Israel came to them with a contagious skin disease so an outbreak would not happen.

So here’s a an outcast coming to Jesus, surrounded by crowds, which probably meant he had left his isolation and come as a contagious man to Jesus, desperate for healing so he can get back to his life.

Aren’t you glad Jesus is willing to reach out and touch unclean sinners and heal them?

Jesus heals a Gentile’s servant of paralysis - V. 5-13

Jesus was showing that “The King was in their midst!” – it was now time to repent, it was now time to change their minds from a religious outlook to a “God loves people more than anything” outlook!

Notice in verse 10 Jesus helps us understand that true faith acknowledges and submits to the authority, the LORDSHIP of Jesus Christ.

These verses reinforce the omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence of God. He is all-knowing, all-powerful, and everywhere-present. He can speak the word in one place, and healing happen in another place. He is not bound by time and space like we are. He is Lord of the physical realm!

Jesus heals a woman of her fever - V. 14-17

What we need to see here is that Jesus healing an outcast, a Gentile’s servant, and a woman, all in GALLILEE was a direct challenge to the indifference and wrong priorities of the JERUSALEM based religious leaders.

Welcome to our Sunday Service! We pray that this is a blessing for you. Feel free to like, share, and comment on this post - how has the Lord been working in your life this week?
