Mike shared from Lamentations 3:22-23— “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” What a comfort to know that every single day is new with God, no matter what happened the day before. Even for those of us who aren’t morning people, we can have hope and motivation each time the sun rises!

Abby talked through the story of the lame man by the pool of Bethesda in John 5:1-17. When this man could not help himself to enter healing, Jesus brought healing to him. This is a comforting reminder of how He comes to us in those moments where we cannot help ourselves! After healing him, verse 14 reveals that “Jesus found him in the temple.” What a powerful image, that immediately after he stood up to walk for the first time, he walked to a place of worship!

The Our Daily Bread for today used the wholesome image of a dad comforting his daughter in the dentist’s office to illustrate how the Father reassures us in crisis. Read it here!

Shout out to Lisa from Mount Gilead for calling in with the answer– “Don’t Lose Heart” by Steven Curtis Chapman! She wins $10 to Watt’s Restaurant for getting the stumper from last week.

Thanks for listening!
