Coming down off a rise in St. Pamphile, Quebec, I could look over the border into the Maine mountains. Something life-changing took place in this village that day. I had asked Christ to forgive me and I didn’t know what else to say to Him. This all took place in the cab of a logging truck. The truck engine was the same and the sun’s rays played off the snow as usual on a bright sunny day as I journeyed back. However, I felt there was a change in my life that I didn’t fully understand.
That was almost forty-eight years ago. Over the passage of those four decades, I studied Scripture in a Bible institute in Canada, earned two degrees, pastored two different churches over a period of forty-two years and volunteered for thirty-six years in EMS. I wasn’t alone in this because God had given me a French wife and English teacher to make it all possible.
What did I learn over all of these years? God is faithful and will never place you where the grace of God can’t sustain you.
Jeremiah 29:11-12
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you.
It was to work for Israel as a true promise. I can attest that it also worked for me and I am convinced it can work for you if you avail yourself of it.
Think about it.
