Seasons of Blessings

11/13/2019

 
Providence Baptist is now entering a special season of blessings.  Each day of our journey the Lord brings to us blessings that enrich and empower us for the living of our days.  This season of the year is a Season of Blessings as we celebrate Thanksgiving, Advent and Christmas.  I am encouraging each of us to take time each day to "THANK OUR LORD" for the blessings He is sharing with us. 

As of this writing we have received over $133,000.00 toward our goal of $150,000.00 for the renovation of the floor.  Our Providence family has "LAID HOLD ON THE GREATNESS" of God and we have experienced a special blessing that gives evidence of His Presence and His Power working in His people. 

Make time to reflect upon the many blessings that we are receiving each day.  The fellowship of Providence gives evidence that God is at work among His people.  Our Father has brought and continues to bring together a people on mission in the name of Christ.  God has a purpose for Providence and He is making and molding a people for that purpose.  What a blessing to be part of this fellowship of believers. 

God blesses us each day with a people who are using their spiritual gifts to build up and strengthen the body of Christ.   What a blessing to be part of a fellowship that understands we are never to take the place of God - we are called to be his helpers.  We are blessed to have the privilege to serve a mighty God who has equipped us to be His helpers.  

We are blessed to have people whose desire is to give God the glory for all that He is doing in our midst.  We are called in Christ to serve the Lord and to serve one another.  

NOVEMBER 24 IS OUR SPECIAL THANKSGIVING CELEBRATION.  THIS IS GOING TO BE A GREAT TIME OF EXPRESSING OUR GRATITUDE TO GOD FOR ALL THAT HE HAS DONE AND IS DOING FOR US.  PLEASE MAKE PLANS TO BE PRESENT FOR AN HOUR OF CELEBRATION SUCH AS YOU HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED.  FAMILIES WILL GATHER AROUND THE TABLES IN THE GATHERING PLACE FOR A TIME OF WORSHIP FOLLOWED BY OUR THANKSGIVING FEAST.  PLEASE INVITE YOU FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS TO JOIN US IN THIS SEASON OF BLESSINGS.

I encourage you to take the time to reflect upon the blessings God is sharing with you.  His desire is to bless each of us in ways we never thought possible.  As we enter this Season of Blessings, remember to continue
"to lay hold on God's greatness."

The Words of Paul

11/4/2019

 

The Scriptures were written for our instruction and inspiration. My heart has been 
strangely warmed as I have spent a great amount of time reflecting upon the words
the Apostle Paul shared with the Philippians...Chapter 4:4-9.

Our Father,
I begin this prayer by asking that you fill each of us with joy that can come only from
You. May each day we rejoice over the experience of Your presence with us and the
purpose You give us for the living of our days.
​
We ask that others will see we are considerate of them as a result of our walk with You.
As we follow You, help us to watch for Your coming with expectation.
Father, give us the wisdom and strength to live the words You shared with Paul. Thank
You that through the ages these words have been preserved for those who follow You.

Our Lord and Savior, help us to follow Your instructions found in Your Word:
Don't worry about anything.
Pray about everything.
Tell our Heavenly Father what we need.

Thank You Lord for all You have done for us.
Thank You for Your peace that far exceeds our understanding.
Thank You for the comfort that comes knowing Your peace will guard our hearts and
minds as we live in Christ Jesus.

Lord, give us the determination to fix our thoughts on what is true, honorable and right,
pure, lovely, and admirable. Help us to think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Please Lord, empower us to put into practice Your teachings that came from the Apostle Paul, knowing that Your peace is a peace not given by the world, but a peace that only You can give. Amen.
