Psalms 8:9 states “O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth”! He is wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father and the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6(b). It is because of who you are that we give you Glory, Honor and Praise, and we Worship you in Spirit and in truth. Lord, we thank you this morning for sending the Holy Spirit which is our advocate. John 14:26 reads “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you” So as you read, study and meditate on God’s Word, He will teach you and illuminate your mind to think ”outside the box”, in other words, you will begin to see God’s perspective and not just your own. The Bible tells us that God’s thoughts are not our thoughts and His ways are not our ways (Isaiah 55:8). God knows our future; He can see what we cannot see and He knows what we do not know (Omnipresent and Omniscient), and that is why we trust Him and obey because He is the only one that can lead and guide us; He is God all by Himself and before the foundation of the world was, GOD IS! So try not to worry because we are too blessed to be stressed, but instead let us pray about our concerns which is positive meditation; remembering that 1 Thess. 5:18 tells us that “In Everything, give thanks for this is the Will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you”. It did not say “For” everything, but right in the midst of our struggles, give Thanks in advance knowing that it is God’s Will that we prosper in every area of our lives and be in good health.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>God bless,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Dr. Joyce Taylor, VP, MSCC<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Communities of Faith Committee Member<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Be encouraged today by Pastor Rick Warren’s message on God’s Perspective below.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> Daily Hope with Rick Warren <connect@newsletter.purposedriven.com> <br><b>Sent:</b> Saturday, April 25, 2020 5:06 AM<br><b>To:</b> Joyce Taylor <dr.joycetaylor56@gmail.com><br><b>Subject:</b> God Wants to Show You His Perspective—Through the Bible <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%;background:white' id="ko_imageBlock_3"><tr><td valign=top style='padding:0in 6.75pt 0in 6.75pt'><div><div align=center><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 style='max-width:480.0pt;background:white'><tr><td valign=top style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><a href="http://messaging.saddleback.org/ct/55453277:JO_ZllbN3:m:1:3025321960:6376B0F4F2F9D6FFDA2FDABC128F3A48:r"><span style='color:#3F3F3F;border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in;text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=640 height=640 style='width:6.6666in;height:6.6666in' id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.jpg@01D61B6A.A3B68720" alt="Image removed by sender.
