            Worry is probably one of the most common emotions people face today.  One definition of the word in the dictionary is "to feel a nagging fear about something."  How many of us can say we have never felt that emotion?  One of Jesus' questions in Matthew 6:27 is "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"  This is an age-old problem that all of us struggle with.  Because of our human nature, we want to "fix" things, but in reality, worry never helps us.  There are many things only God can change for us.

 

            What a treat the Golden Valley Christian Church was given Sunday morning as our children's choir, under the direction of Rosanna Cross, sang for us.  It is so uplifting to hear children sing praises to our Lord.  Bro. Tim's message was the parable of the unjust judge and the persistent widow.  Sometimes, when we pray for something, it seems God does not hear our prayers.  In this parable, Jesus was telling us to always pray and not give up.  God answers prayers in His time, not ours.  The judge in this parable was an unjust judge, but our God is just and will take care of us if we continue our relationship with Him.  Without faith it is impossible to please God.

                    

            The Bible challenge question is:  "Who was one of the wives Isaac's son, Esau, married?"  (Genesis 28:8-9)
