We traveled to Adrian, NY to be with Pastor Wheeler and Adrian Baptist Church for their Sunday morning service. Please keep these dear folks in your prayers! Mrs. Wheeler went home to be with the Lord earlier this year. We rejoice that she is in heaven but she is greatly missed by Pastor Wheeler, her young children, and the church. That morning the Lord put II Corinthians 4 on my heart where Paul encourages the church to press on in the ministry God had given them. The world doesn’t understand how we can go on when trials come but Pastor Wheeler said it best when he quoted the Lord’s words in II Corinthians, “My grace is sufficient for thee:” I cannot even imagine the loss of a spouse but seeing Pastor Wheeler standing strong in the pulpit made me realize just how true those words are. God will always be there to give us the grace we need in terrible trials. We’ll still struggle and perhaps never understand why troubles come but we will always have the comfort of knowing that our God is right there with us. He will carry us through. “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” II Corinthians 12:9
