"GOING THROUGH IMPOSSIBLE DAYS"

October 1  “Going Through Impossible Days”  Psalm 118:5

***Due to the rise in COVID19 related illnesses, we are strongly encouraging the use of Masks, within the sanctuary, and to continue to observe “Social Distancing.”  Together, with a faithful reliance on God, we will overcome this present challenge!!*** Thank you, for the prayers, food, cards, and every act of love and support during this struggle with the Coronavirus!  Thank you to the Wayne Batten and the Deacons for stepping up to minister, during my sickness.  Thank you to Rev. Bobby Richardson and Rev. John Edwards for covering the pulpit, in my absence! 

Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “I called on the Lord in distress; The Lord answered me and set me in a broad place.” (Psalm 118:5)

Annette and I have been through so difficult times and the residual effects of the COVID-19 virus continue to linger; however, we are in the position of being overcomers!  When I look at the broader picture, I recognize that all of us are going through some amazingly difficult times.  Fear, anxiety, conflicts, confrontations, chaos, upheavals, anti-God, anti-American, upside-down reasoning, lack of basic “Common Sense,” and a plethora of other issues that conspire to make these days, that we are enduring, truly Impossible!! If we watch television or read the Newspapers or listen to the radio, we will be drained, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.  When we succumb to the constant flow of negativity and worldly concerns, our bodies and our spirit weaken!  In our prayers, we become desperate, as we call out to God for help and guidance. A Personal Note: My prayers have become more powerful, more focused, and more about “Walking by Faith, not by what I see!”  The COVID-19, and the recovery time, has provided an opportunity to reflect and to re-focus my purpose and duty. Listen, if you are experiencing the negative influences of the moment, turn to God in prayer, asking Him to provide His Grace so that you can overcome the present evil!  “OUT OF MY DISTRESS, I CALLED ON THE LORD!”  Today, this is our instruction, our call to action, our next move!!!  CALL ON THE LORD!  I am certain that when I call on HIM, HE HEARS, HE RESPONDA and HE WILL TURN THE IMPOSSIBLE INTO THE POSSIBLE!  Remember, as a true believer, He has set us free, even, in the midst, of the mayhem that is going on in this world.  Claim HIS freedom and be set free!  What God does with you, depends upon what you do!  It Always has; It Always will!  Be sure, be productive and continue to share the Love of God with others.  To God Be the Glory!!!  Stay Strong, Stay Focused…THE BEST IS ABSOLUTELY YET TO BE!
