With the horror of
Hurricane Harvey still spilled it’s rain and flooding all over Texas we have an
opportunity to step up in several ways.
Within this devotion I ask that you create action steps, if you haven’t
already to serve those in the deepest needs.
Colossians
1:11 NLT
We
also pray that you will
be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance
and patience you need. May you be filled with joy,
First and foremost,
pray. Pray for those in harms ways. We continue to hear and see stories or people
trapped due to flooding, of the destruction of property and the fear that is
gripping those in the midst.
Pray that God would
rescue those in need and that He would meet each and every need.
Titus
3:14 NLT
Our
people must learn to do good by meeting the urgent needs of others; then they will not be unproductive.
Second and a
pressing need, give what you can to serve those in need. IN our community the local police department
is taking up bottled water to send with God’s Pit Crew to those in need. Mill Creek Baptist Church in Henry VA this
Saturday from 9 till noon will be collecting a tractor trailer load of items to
send for relief. Our partners with North
American Mission Board (SBCV disaster Relief and others) are planning their
help with recovery and will move in as flood waters start to recede.
Give what you can as
far as physical resources. Go to
NAMB.NET or REDCROSS.COM and give money to help those in need. Do what you can.
Another possibility
is go. When you are invited to be part
of helping, sign up, pack up and go.
Exodus
3:7 NLT
Then
the Lord told him, “I have certainly seen the
oppression of my people in Egypt. I have heard their cries of distress
because of their harsh slave drivers. Yes, I am aware of their suffering.
Maybe you are in the
middle of this disaster and you are reading this. God hears your prayer and is responding. Maybe you have family or friends, as I do,
within these storms. God is at work
there and will be continuing to work.
Know you are being
prayed for that others are seeking to help.
God has not forgotten you. He is
working. We are in this together.
Proverbs
3:25 NLT
Do
not be afraid of sudden fear …
May God hear the
prayer and heal our land. May His peace
and His presence be so real to all those involved.
We pray. We give.
We prepare to go!
