“So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created; and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground; for I regret that I have made them.” But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God. Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth.” Genesis 6:7-10
This is the first Monday of 2020 and while this is the day for the monthly Trinity/HOPE international day of prayer, I thought it might be good day to share a Facebook post that a good friend shared last week which was written by Traci Jaco. “Tonight, during the message, my nine-year old son Jay came to the realization that the children who were NOT on the ark, didn’t make it. He looked to me with such a sad, questioning face. All that I could say was “Their parents didn’t make sure they were on the ark.” The weight of that statement is still resting upon me. Of all the things that I do for the Kingdom of God, NOTHING is more important than making sure that my children find their way to a relationship with Jesus.”
My daughter Deidre and I talked about this post last week and we both agreed how thankful we are to have a close relationship with Jesus, not just to have a spot reserved in Heaven but more importantly, how great it is to ask the Holy Spirit to use us, to bring more lost souls into the Kingdom.
This school year, there are over 28,000 children in 141 Christian schools throughout Haiti, learning about Jesus, eating a noon meal from Trinity/HOPE and sharing news that will bring more souls into the Ark before the door closes. Thank you for answering the call to help spread the Good News.
Heavenly Father, you have called your servants to ventures of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen.
May God be with you…Jay ~
