Psalms 34:19, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.”

Hello OTP family!

Just so very grateful to God because of his faithfulness. He watches over his word to perform it. He hears and answers our prayers.

Thanking God for bringing very close family through surgery. And we continue to trusting God to keep this family through a speedy and excellent recovery. Hallelujah to you, Jesus!!

Sometimes we go through things (distractions), that seem so big that we allow the enemy to trick us into believing it is too hard for God to fix. We want to figure out our own avenue to make a way. But we are just fighting God.

God loves us enough to allow us our own free will. Because of this God allows things to happen in our lives. Remember, whatsoever we sow, we shall also reap. Yes, our poor choices will produce fruit. But because of his faithfulness, God also promised he would never put more on us than we can bear. And yes, sometimes our disobedience puts us on a track that was not originally apart of God‘s plan

This is the importance of repentance. When we recognize that we have violated God‘s plan for our lives, we need to repent and get back in line. We will still reap what which we sowed, but God extends his grace and mercy to strengthen us through whatever we have to face.

But God is a wonderful orchestrator. He knows how to make all things work together for our good. He is the Almighty and sovereign God. It is our duty to lean on him and trust in him through everything even when we make bone headed mistakes and go the wrong way. God is so good that he can route us back to where we need to be. Yes, he is a Grand orchestrator!

In those times when you are not strong enough to pray the prayer of faith over yourself that is the time when you need to reach out to somebody to pray for you. The scripture says it like this: Is there any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church that they may pray the prayer faith.. You don’t need them in the room with you to lay hands on you. There is no distance in prayer. They could be across the country, across the state, or across the room. You just need them to say a prayer for you.

Sickness is not just dealing with your physical, health, but it’s any malady that would attack your mine, body, soul.

There will be times when you are in strength. These is your times to pray for people. There will be times when you are in weakness. These are the times when you need someone to pray for you. Through it all, we are to strive to pray always and not faint. 

God is faithful! Let us rejoice in the faithfulness of God!

Have a blessed night.
