Every Sunday morning at our church, an usher is always ready to welcome members and guests with a smile and also a weekly newsletter in its hand for us.  I like reading it during the "weekly announcements" part of the service because there’s always a funny joke and also inspiring words.  I want to share with you what my pastor wrote in this week’s newsletter.  I hope that it’ll be a word of encouragement and also a blessing to you for this week.

"As the massive Boeing 777 jet accelerated down the runway, then lifted into the air, I was again in awe at the magnificent power that would lift such immense weight to a cruising altitude of more than 43,000 feet.   As the plane entered an area of turbulence and the giant machine was tossed about as though it weighed nothing, I was reminded of the tremendous, awe-inspiring force of the One who is the source of all power. 

We witness God’s power in so many areas and ways as we journey through this world: in the roaring of mighty waterfalls, the glories of a sunrise, the churning of the seas, the birth of our babies.  We witness His ultimate power in our own lives — in our own personal experiences as we come to know Him as the One who cares for and loves us individually and unconditionally. 

He knows and cares about every difficulty we face and each heartbreak we suffer. It is difficult to understand how such a powerful God, who rules the universe, would care for us on a personal basis.  We must come to understand that God does not allow His work of keeping all things in the universe in its proper place to divert His attention from us personally, nor does it interfere with His working in our individual lives!"

Amen.
