Dear Brothers and Sisters in IAUA (ee-ah-oo-ah) our Father,

Greetings on this day of preparation for the weekly sabbath. I hope this newsletter finds you in good health and happy in the service of the Lord.

This song has been going through my mind...

All my trials Lord, soon be over.

I had a little book was given to me,
And every page spelled Liberty.
All my trials Lord, soon be over.

If religion were a thing that money could buy,
The rich would live and the poor would die.
All my trials Lord, soon be over.

Too late my brothers, too late, but never mind.
All my trials Lord, soon be over.

There is a tree in Paradise
The Pilgrims call it "The Tree Of Life"
All my trials Lord, soon be over.

I am facing increasing trials with uncertainty for the future. I do not know where I will be next month at this time. The Lord is teaching me patience and trust. I feel like I am failing my trial because I am struggling with such despair and anguish.

My trials are small when compared to Job's trials. It is a source of comfort to consider what Job went through. I can understand a small part of his anguish and despair. His anguished words before the Lord encourage me.

It is also a source of comfort to consider that the Messiah's trials were far greater than mine. He understands more pain, anguish and rejection than I can even grasp. He is my example, comfort and guide.

Matthew 11
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Satan tempts me to despair. The truth is that there is great hope. The short term is the time of trouble in this world. The long term is the joy and peace of heaven and then the new earth.

The most difficult part is the uncertainty. While I am still on this earth I must provide a home for my family. Actually, it occurs to me that God is the source of everything and not me. I am just a steward. I pray that He will show me what He wants me to do with what He has provided.

I am ashamed that I am having such a struggle. I wish that I was a giant of faith and that none of this would bother me. It is my constant prayer that God will strengthen my faith. I pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit to give me wisdom to know what I need to do, strength to do it, and courage to see me through.

In my calmer moments I know that God has a plan for my life. I know that He will guide me. I know that He provides. I know that I am under His care. I pray that God will give me more peace, trust, hope, and faith in Him. These trials are His way of doing just that.

May we all find peace and unity in the soon coming of IAUShUO (Ee-ah-oo-shoo-oh) Messiah, the Son of God.

Shabbat Shalom
