Psalm 25: 4-5 Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.
On a Gunsmoke episode years ago, the state of Kansas experienced a long, dry spell. No rain had fallen for many weeks. The crops were dying for lack of water. One day, a rainmaker came to Dodge. Festus, Matt Dillion's sidekick, asked if they ought to expose him as a fake. Matt responded, "No, this man can give the people something to hope for, something to believe in."
I know what it is like to feel there is no hope. I know the doubts that satan can bring as you feel there is nothing more to believe in or to trust. Maybe today you are saying, Yes, I have felt like that also, or, yes, I'm feeling that way today. Please look again at the Bible verse from the Psalms. Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.
When life gets dry and your road is parched don't trust in any old thing that comes along. We at Project 52 won't allow you to believe in anything just for the sake of giving you something to hope for. We want you to believe in the sure thing, Jesus Christ. He is the living water that refreshes and brings new life. His Word is truth and it guides us through all areas of our lives, good times and bad. God is our Savior! He died for you! He picks you up when you want to stay down. He gives you something to live for as He blesses you with ...........you go ahead and name the blessings! Maybe friends, a new job, a new life.....go ahead, name them. And then praise Him for this life and the life which is to come.
In Christ,
Pastor John

Amen to everything you said!! Yes, I have felt like there was no hope and then someone told me that God loves me and that I am a special child of God. That was a blessing, it still is. He picks you up when you want to stay down. I like how you put that. With God in your life, He won’t let you stay down. Name the blessings…. right now, it is friends, and I praise Him!!
