Pastor John,
I have been thinking about what you said Friday night about Wed night’s reading of Revelation. It left me praying to Jesus to not let me grow complacent and take for granted all that Jesus has given us. We have so much to eat!
I was listening to the latest meeting CD today, and Judy M was testifying about her scare with the horse. At one point she said that Billy told her “not to grow complacent” with the horses. When she said that, it struck my heart. I knew Jesus wanted me to hear that. Judy also said things “can change in a moment”, and after my scare at work with a gunman, I feel like Jesus was wanting me to hear that also.
I was just about to go to bed but after reading today’s Excerpt (below), I had to write. God’s patience is terrifying. It is terrifying to think we could be the “ignorant creatures” God is using. Israel grew tired of Manna. I pray that Jesus gives me a heart to cherish our Manna. How terrifying to not cherish and love what God has given and for Him to take it away!
I am thankful that you love Jesus and the things of God we are given, Pastor John. Thank you for all the time and work you put into teaching us.
Beth
