On April 11th I turn 50. Born at the time of the conflict in Vietnam, growing up during the crisis with oil and inflation in the 70’s and coming of age during the tensions of Nuclear posturing with the Soviets during the 80’s, my formative years were filled with a sense of uncertainty. Our world seems much the same today: conflicts … concerns … uncertainty. G-d always seems to prefer working in times of uncertainty since our uncertainty demands from us his followers total reliance on Him, The Certain One.
Since we know that knowing G-d and following G-d provides for us his certainty, how should we be investing ourselves, our time and our resources today? I want to encourage you this month to Invest your time and finances to strengthen G-d’s Kingdom effort!
Messiah Yeshua warned us about investing: “But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in or steal.”
On April 16th Devar Emet celebrates 20 years of ministry work as a unique part of G-d’s greater Kingdom effort. Much has been accomplished as you will see in this newsletter, yet so much remains to be done. The future is uncertain.
Despite the uncertainty of our time, we know that G-d is working and moving our world toward His certain end, the Kingdom of our Messiah Yeshua! Let us generously work together to build up Messiah’s Kingdom through our time and resources. This kind of investment will bring a certain reward.
Forward for Messiah!
