From the Pulpit...

In your life, do carefully seek God’s guidance by means of prayer and the Bible before you make any big moves, whether relocation or financial changes or relationships, etc. You will not get guidance like Jacob and Laban did via dreams, but you will receive wisdom as needed. But you must seek it (Prov. 2:4-5). Trust in God’s protection. Always be honest in your dealings. Then you do not have to worry about what criticisms will come at you years down the line. Do not be like Laban, highly possessive and unable to see other people prosper. We must constantly rebel against materialism in our hearts. Watch out for your family members: train them in godliness so that they will not fall into idolatry when you are not watching. Finally, count on God’s faithfulness, and develop a character that is faithful like His.
