Scripture: "For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory
of the LORD..."
Habbakuk 2:14
Stewardship Corner - At the end of WWII, the Allies in Europe had to deal with thousands of orphaned children.
They built camps where they could be well fed and cared for. One problem, however, affected the majority of the orphans.
As well cared for as they were, they couldn't sleep. Eventually, the problem was solved. At bed-time, each child was given a small loaf of bread to hold on to.
They had learned from experience that having food today didn't guarantee food tomorrow. The anxiety of not being sure of their next meal kept them awake.
God has given us our own loaf of bread to hold onto in Philippians 4:19 "But my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus".
That promise has tremendous implications for how we give! We are not alone in securing our future.
We want to be wise, to plan, and to save, but we can give generously to God's work, because His promise removes all anxiety and fear about tomorrow.
Thank You Notes: "To all AUC Members—Thank you for the prayers and flowers. I'm coming along slowly."
Mrs. Luther
