Pastor Bell's Words To Live By

From the day the Nehemiah heard about the dilapidation of the walls surrounding the city of God, it was in his heart to do something about it. He was moved by the news that things were not right, his people were in captivity and the dwelling place of God was a laughing stock. Like us today, Nehemiah knew that the God he had served from his youth was “gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love” (Psalm 145:8). And this knowledge of Yahweh, the God of Israel, compelled him to do something about his situation and bring transformation to a nation. Once an individual understands that God is almighty he can say like the psalmist; “I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness; for you have exalted your name and your word above everything” (Psalm 138:2). Today, God will bring you into the presence of people who will have the resources and ability to allow you to fulfil the plans that he placed in your heart. And like our friend Nehemiah we will develop the passion, resolve and drive to complete the task he has set before us. And although it might be an uphill struggle, let us never forget that our God is more than able.  Read Psalm 138.
