Dear Church,
While we are away to attend my father-in-law’s funeral, I want to encourage you with these words from John Flavel in his excellent book, The Mystery of Providence.
If there is one thing that you can do to grow in your prayer life, besides considering God’s own words, it is considering God’s work in your own life.
Labour to get as full and thorough a recognition as you are able of the providences of God concerning you from first to last. O fill your hearts with the thoughts of him and his ways. If a single act of Providence is so ravishing and transporting, what would many such be, if they were presented together to the view of the soul! If one star is so beautiful to behold, what is a constellation! Let your reflections therefore upon the acts and workings of Providence for you be full, extensively and intensively.
Grace and Peace,
Pastor Dan

In November, we will begin our new sermon series, looking at 2 Thessalonians. Through this little book, we’ll see what we need in order to persevere in the face of persecution, misinformation, and discouragement.
