Spared?

It looks like, again, our community will be spared the impact of a hurricane.
What about those who will not?

God tells us to 'carry each others burdens and in this way we will fulfill the law of Christ.' Jesus said that we have a responsibility to the hungry and thirsty and naked and sick.

How does that work itself out in situations like these? And no, this isn't about guilt, and we aren't responsible to meet everyone's needs. God is. But He uses His people.

My encouragement to you is to begin to pray as we did in Celebration this morning for those who will be affected. Pray for protection and provision and for God to be glorified in the midst of this event, and in the aftermath.

And then pray that you will be available to respond to God, and those in need, as He would lead you.
