Pastor's Notes to Wesley

Hello Wesley,

When I was first a Christian, my sister Nina sent me a book to read, Hinds Feet on High Places by Hanna Hurnard. What I remember is the key verse upon which the book was built,

Habakkuk 3: 17-19
Though the fig tree should not blossom,
And there be no fruit on the vines,
Though the yield of the olive should fail,
And the fields produce no food,
Though the flock should be cut off from the fold,
And there be no cattle in the stalls,
YET I will exult in the Lord,
I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.
The Lord God is my strength,
And he has made my feet like hinds’ feet,
And makes me walk on my high places.

So many times in my life this image has flashed through my soul. It seems that at any time when things are difficult or even unbearable, God reminds me of the words of the prophet, who lost everything. I am again in that season of loss, as are many of us, and the image has returned to strengthen me and bolster me for the day and the morrow. I am ever so grateful God continues to strengthen. He is there for us, for me, for you.

I do love being your pastor,
Ernie
