February 22 Recovery Mode 1 John 4:4
** THANK YOU, Annette Brock for always having my back! I Love You! Many are not aware of the active role that Annette plays in the ministry at BTC. She does what she does, so that I can do what I do… **
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, NC … “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” (1 John 4:4)
Since Monday evening, I have experienced a “Gut Wrenching,” and double-sided dilemma! Feeling sick to my stomach, yet must make a dash to the bathroom, and determining which option would offer the worst scenario if not successful. Absolutely drained, weak and vulnerable, this opponent, this invader had ravaged me physically, and I had no control over its ability to knock me off my feet. During this ordeal, I continued to repeat, almost a chant, that “Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world!” Over and over, before, during and after each wave of nausea, each sprint to the bathroom, and the slow, wobbly walk back to the bed. Annette and I were supposed to go away for a couple of days, for some R & R, yet we determined that there was too much happening for us to go ways, so we stayed home, and were prepared to continue to serve our church family and our community. God has determined that I would get some rest … Wow, what a way to spend time in bed. Please remember, every challenge that you experience, every difficulty that you endure, every obstacle that you overcome, as a Believer, God has your steps ordered and your path set, and He has determined that all will be for your good! Annette and I still plan on breaking away, soon, however, PRAISE GOD, we will continue to serve HIM, Praise HIM, and Proclaim HIS Good News, every single day! Stay Strong, Stay Focused… THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
