Michael and Dawn July 2020 Newsletter


Friends,                                                                                              
I hope you’re doing well.  I really thought when I wrote last month’s newsletter that I was back on track and I’d be busy preaching again.  I was wrong.  I had several more cancellations in June and early July.  Beginning this coming Sunday, I am busy every Sunday through mid-November unless the Covid strikes again.  And I promise I have written a new book.  I had hoped to have it in hand by now…but I am believing I will have it by this time next month.  It’s titled Faithful.  I am grateful for God’s faithfulness to me.  If I am in any way faithful to God it is because He has been faithful to me. 
Here’s a brief devotion from Psalm 37:1-9  Notice, first of all, Don’t Fret.  37:1  The idea is that of not being worried and consumed with fear. How many of us have ever changed the outcome of a situation by worrying?  We should take our concerns to the Lord.  We should lay our burdens at His feet. ….Notice also, Don’t Quit. 37:3-5 The Psalmist writes about trusting. Delighting.  Committing.  Quitting is not an option.  Do you know anyone who quit?  They walked out on their marriage or family?  They quit church?  They quit doing the right thing? Don’t quit. Trust.  Delight. Commit.  ….Notice also, Don’t Cheat. 37:8  Life is full of short-cuts. Sometimes we choose to cheat, to get by with dishonesty.  You can choose to cheat on your spouse, cheat at work, or cheat in life. Be faithful friend. And He will turn your sorrow to joy.  ….Finally, notice, Don’t Forget. 37:9 Don’t forget God.  Wait on Him to work out the details of your life.  Don’t forget what your parents taught you.  Don’t forget what your grandparents said.  Don’t forget what your teachers said.  Most of all, don’t forget what God said.  Trust Him. Be faithful and wait on Him.
