When God knows our name it means that we matter to Him. It means that He cares about us, about who we are and what we say and do. As believers we have been adopted into the kingdom of God. Our names are written in the palm of his hands. We are given a new identity and a life filled with opportunities. We are children of God. The Lord knows our name and desires our worship and praise.

In our lives we will face tests and trials, some so difficult that it seems as if we are going to go under. However, when faced with stormy situations we must continue to trust in Jesus as he has power over every situation. There is nothing too difficult for him. He is the master of the seas and the keeper of the winds. Be encouraged today and trust his mercies. Surrender your storms to Him. H. Staple-Reid

Romans 12: 1+2 " I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God which is your reasonable service. 2. And be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable, and perfect will of God"

When faced with situations that test your conscience..do the right thing, trust in God and leave the consequences to him. He will take care of us as we choose to do what is right.

Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men. Ps. 107:8

But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation, because it is written; Be ye holy for I am holy.

We have an anchor that keeps the soul, a hope that we have in Jesus Christ. It is stedfast and sure and keeps our faith alive. Therefore, whatever struggles we face in this life we hope in God and His mercies.

The Christian life is compared to a race in which each believer is striving for an incorruptible crown. We have to do everything possible so that we are not disqualified from the race. Therefore, let us drop off the things that distract us and fix our eyes on Jesus the Author and Perfecter of our faith. Let us Race for the Crown. Evangelist H. STAPLE- REID

When things go wrong this is what you need to do " Cast your burden upon the Lord and he shall sustain you. He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.( Ps 55:22)

Many persons who begin to serve Christ sometines fall into perpetual sin and stop following after God. It is not God's will that anyone should perish. THEREFORE, the church is tasked with the responsibility of ministering to the needs of the fallen. A fallen brother is still valuable to the Lord. Those who are strong should show him brotherly love and help him get back on his spiritual feet.
