Pastor Steve shares these links to stimulate some Thursday Thoughts…

You Are Dust – – Tim Challies reminds us that we are not designed to carry our burdens alone. Self-sufficiency is a dangerous goal that is unattainable for Christians. He writes: “We Christians put on a good face, don’t we? Each of us shows up on Sunday morning looking like we are doing just fine, like our lives are on cruise control, like we have had the best week ever. But ask a couple of leading questions, and probe just beneath the surface, and it soon falls apart. Each of us comes to church feeling the weight and the difficulty of this life. God has something he wants us to do in these situations.” You can read the rest HERE.

He Knows – – No matter the difficulty, one of the greatest encouragements we have is the reality that He knows. Melissa Edgington at “You Mom Has a Blog” writes: “The future spreads out like an undiscovered playground, and it looms like a terrifying storm, and in both things I see it is true. God knows. We are intimately known and exquisitely cared for.” You will be encouraged to read the rest HERE.
