To the dear members of FMBC, our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for your care and concern during our recent health challenge. For some, it might appear that we were hit with a double “WHAMMY”, in as much as both Sister Jones and I experienced medical issues at the same time, however, as a believer, we join with the Psalmist and proclaim: “If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel (God’s people) say; If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us: Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.” The lesson we can take away is, we can turn to the Creator for help in our time of need, for He is on our side. We need only trust Him and look for His deliverance (healing, etc.).
Again, thanks for your prayers and your concern.
Pastor J. Amos Jones
