Pastor's Message (January 29, 2012)
Dear Friends,
It is wonderful how the Lord blesses our family of believers at the old church on the corner, Grand Prairie Baptist Church. I was reading in the Psalms how the Lord led Israel from Egypt through the wilderness into the Promised Land. A few of the accounts written in the book of Psalms explain the details of how He prepared them to face insurmountable opposition. He also fed and clothed them. God empowered the nation of Israel with just a few men to chase thousands of the enemy’s army to defeat. Yet in these accounts He reminds them that it is not the strength of man, the influence of their position, not anything they possess. It is God and God Himself who fought their enemies; He is the One who protected them from diseases and honored them in front of the entire world to view. Remember this, we may not know what we will face tomorrow nor whom we will make contact. But the Lord will equip His people, you and I, to face anything ahead. That is why he gave us a place to meet here regularly; then He admonished us to not forsake it. The Bible tells us that it is He who will do for us what we cannot do ourselves. The Lord will equip us as we grow in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is amazing that as His promises are carried out in the life of the believer, only as we are faithful and obedient to His Word.
