Greetings and Blessings from the Heart of Texas, to our friends and fellow laborers. We are so blessed to be able to share our blessings and burdens with those of you with kindred spirits and tender hearts. We need to stay in touch with one another.
We are living in troubled times aren’t we? Trouble in Israel, trouble in the Mideast, trouble at the Border, trouble in our Politics and always trouble with our Politicians, and face it, trouble in our Churches, Families, and Individual Christianity.
We should not be surprised. God gave us warning in the prophetic Scriptures of His Second Coming. Though we know these things, the details of the reality is troubling as we face all these issues and many others as well. One of the old Preachers spoke of the responsibility we have to encourage each other. So in that light I am including a devotion which has really been an encouragement to me on the second page of this letter because of its length.

There is such a great need in this day for our Intercession for each other in prayers and care. William Barclay said “We have a Christian duty to encourage one another. Many time a word of praise or thanks or appreciation or cheer has kept a man on his feet. Blessed is the man who speaks such a word.” Paul expresses even better, “Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” Ephesians 4:32. We all have need of that don’t we. The load gets heavy and at times we wonder…But keep looking to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our Faith.
Much Love and Prayers,
Bro. Wayne and Mrs. Susie
This devotion helped me so much, I thought you might need it also. “When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.” -Isa. 43:2
Is there any heart discouraged as it journeys on its way?
Does there seem to be more darkness than there is of sunny day?
Oh, it’s hard to learn the lesson, as we pass beneath the rod,
That the sunshine and the shadow serve alike the will of God!
But there comes a word of promise like the promise in the bow—
That, however deep the waters, they shall never overflow.
When the flesh is worn and weary, and the spirit is depressed.
And temptations sweep upon it, like a storm on ocean’s breast,
There’s a haven ever open for the tempest-driven bird,
There’s shelter for the tempted in the promise of the Word;
For the standard of the Spirit shall be raised against the foe,
And, however deep the waters, they shall never overflow.
When a sorrow comes upon you that no other soul can share,
And the burden seems too heavy for the human heart to bear;
There is One whose grace can comfort, if you’ll give Him an abode;
There’s a Burden-Bearer ready if you’ll trust Him with your load;
For the precious promise reaches to the depth of human woe,
That, however deep the waters, they shall never overflow.
When the sands of life are ebbing, and I near the Jordan’s shore,
When I see its waters rising And I hear its billows roar,
I will reach my hand to Jesus, in His bosom I shall hide,
And ‘twill only be a moment till I reach the other side.
It is then the fullest meaning of the promise I shall know.
“When thou passest through the waters, they shall never overflow.”
