Strength from God's Word | October 8, 2023

Happy Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is one of my favourite holidays because of its four “f’s” - family, fellowship, food, and football. And yet, I realize for some of you that another word can characterize Thanksgiving - fear. Fear of family having another fight. Fear of a lack of fellowship. Fear of the food not turning out right. Fear of getting hurt playing football in our Annual Turkey Bowl on Monday morning or fear of your football team losing once again. Fear was the experience of Daniel in Daniel 10. It caused him not to feast, but to fast. Fear caused Daniel to fall face on the ground. And yet God’s messenger strengthened him. I believe God wants to strengthen you and I this Thanksgiving weekend and beyond as we turn to the Lord and find comfort in Him. I hope to see you on Sunday, as we partake in Communion. There is much to be thankful for in Jesus Christ.
