That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving and tell of all thy wondrous works. Psalms 26:7 KJV
Psalms 27:1 <<A Psalm of David.>> The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? KJV
Christians, this verse should encourage each and every one of us, especially in the day we live. Some of us are in the battle of our lives, for our family, church, friends, and loved ones. Some are facing insurmountable persecution and ridicule because they have professed their salvation and just want to share The Good News with all that they meet. Some are in financial situations that keep you on your knees day and night, asking God for relief and wisdom on what to do. Some face the fact that they have lost their jobs, can't pay the mortgage, car payments, light bill; but I venture to say that they aren't going hungry. Each month somehow that money comes in from the most unusual ways and we all can testify to the GOODNESS of God and HIS provision for our lives. These situations are in control by the One that loves us, has mercy on us, and has all the solutions.
I have shared in recent posts of our current situation with regards to our 30-day notice to vacate our current mission home, now down to 27 days. We located a place, and we are thankful, but today we find out it is not guaranteed. The owner is looking for cash money - God is our guide folks, and if it be His will, He will also supply the finances! For folks our age, borrowing a large sum of money is a little daunting. But to us and others just like us who face the fact that they have to find a new roof over their heads, any money outside of our current budget is a lot of money. We know God is in the midst and we can be confident in His ever supply, and He always does it in a way that we can honestly give HIM all the praise, honor and glory.
". . .of whom shall I be afraid?" What men would do to us God will protect, guard, and protect. We are ever grateful for His Light, The Lord Jesus, and the fact that He died for all and reigns in Heaven. Soon He will return, and all of these things will pass away. We long for the day, but until then we will carry on, with His help. The love, prayers, financial support we receive, and the wonderful work we have through and by the preaching of the Gospel, a song here and there, the printing ministry and radio ministry, make it all possible. Thank you for your big hearts, for believing in our work, and for always supporting us in any way. May our great Big God bless you all mightily.
As a side note, if anyone would like to share this new financial burden with us, you can send your love offerings to Faith Baptist Church, 3794 Oleander Avenue, Fort Pierce, FL 34982 and designate it for the Milam's Mission Home. To God Be the Glory!
The Light of the World is Jesus
The whole world was lost in the darkness of sin,
The Light of the world is Jesus!
Like sunshine at noonday, His glory shone in.
The Light of the world is Jesus!
Come to the light, 'tis shining for thee;
Sweetly the light has dawned upon me.
Once I was blind, but now I can see:
The Light of the world is Jesus!
If you don't know Him, come to Him today!
