A young man had been to Wednesday night Bible Study.
The Pastor had shared about listening to God and obeying the Lord’s voice.
The young man couldn’t help but wonder, “Does God still speak to people?”

God made
Adam bit
Noah arked
Abraham split
Joseph ruled
Jacob fooled

Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, “I gave birth to him in pain.”

One day I dug a little hole
And put my hurt inside
I thought that I could just forget
I’d put it there to hide.

They say you never miss a thing until after it’s gone,
When things are going great in life you just go on and on.
You take each day for granted as if you have thousands more,
You really don’t appreciate what each new day is for.

Each morning when I wake I say,
“I place my hand in God’s today;”
I know He’ll walk close by my side
My every wandering step to guide.

ou are my child and I love you. It’s just that simple. No matter what
you’ve done or what you haven’t done. I love you! You have an eternal spirit
living within you, and I know your spirit intimately, and I love you.

He was driving home one evening, on a two lane country road. Work in this

“While serving at a small field hospital in Africa, every two weeks I traveled by bicycle through the jungle to a nearby city for supplies. This was a journey of two days and required camping overnight at the halfway point. On one of these journeys, I arrived in the city where I planned to collect money from a bank, purchase medicine and supplies, and then begin my two-day journey back to the field hospital.

I feel the arms of God around me,
as I lay on my bed at night.
Asleep, I feel the Angel’s touch-
I’m surrounded and held tight.
