Sunday's Coming

Good morning from Arizona once again,

LaVon and I are busy but the work is very rewarding. We had a great Sunday even if I wasn't feeling good. God always gives me just enough strengh to make it through the service. I preached on encouragement the importance of encouraging others.

Your emails and phone calls are an encouragement to me. Thanks! Please keep them coming.

I pray this devotional will be what you need this week.

Have a great day, love you, pass it on. Don

Hidden Treasures

And I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness—secret riches. I will do this so you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name" (Isaiah 45:3, NLT).

Did you know there are treasures hidden on the inside of you? There are gifts, talents, and abilities inside of you that you don’t even know about.

Oftentimes, it's during seasons of difficulty or darkness that those hidden treasures are revealed to us. When we go through times of adversity, strength arises, new abilities arise, new talents. We are "reinvented" so to speak.

If you are going through a difficulty today, if you lost your job or a loved one, remember, God still has a purpose for you. He'll take what the enemy meant for evil, and He’ll turn it around for your good.

Keep standing, keep believing, keep hoping because He's ready to reveal those hidden treasures on the inside of you!

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I come before You with an open and humble heart. Let Your Word sink deep into my Spirit. I trust You and look for the hidden treasures You have deposited on the inside of me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
