“The
fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the judgments of the Lord are true;
they are righteous altogether. They are more desirable than gold,
yes, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb. Moreover, by them Your
servant is warned; in keeping them there is great reward.” Psalm 19:9-11
Dear Brothers & Sisters,
I’m a beekeeper and enjoy eating the delicious honey; therefore,
this analogy is very poignant to me. We pray that you fear the Lord and desire
His judgements (truth) more than fine gold! His word is sweeter than honey to
our souls, and He greatly rewards us when we keep it! Here are some ways God’s
word has recently impacted our lives and others whom we love and serve.
Pastors –Wives Retreat (March 31- April
1) John & Sandy Hopler encouraged
us to be like the Lord Jesus, who was, “sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. (Luke 2:46) All of us were challenged to be active
listeners. It was also encouraging to our
faith to be with our fellow gospel workers. We enjoyed several heart to heart
talks with these dear friends.
Outreach to Ecuadorians Christian is a young man at the car wash I have
befriended. He and his wife Maria invited us to speak to their Ecuadorian Bible
study recently. I taught about God’s Will – Loving God and our neighbors (believers
& unbelievers). We were discussing how to share your story (personal
testimony), when Aden, a 13 year old student said, “I don’t have a story.” He
asked me how to be a Christian, so we explained it to him with the entire group
listening! It was a live training! Pray
for Aden’s salvation & for these believers to commit to the Great
Commission and making disciples here in Atlanta.
