Fireproof

Dear Friend:

Today and everyday has been filled with all sorts of uncertainty. Prices of gas the financial bail-out plan of country and an election coming up. There is so much fire/trouble around us that I was using the word this morning to “Fireproof.” Your asking “Elaine, what do you mean?” Well you know that firemen have clothes that are “Fireproof.” Which means it keeps the fire off of them when they go in to put off a fire. Their clothes don’t ignite and catch on fire.

Here is a verse I read this morning that gave me hope for the future. Psalm 37:37& 39 Mark the blameless man and behold the upright, for there is a happy end for the man of peace.
But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their Refuge and secure Stronghold in the time of trouble.

You know we can lean on the Lord for security. We can trust that he will see us through all things.

While I have you I want to recommend the movie out called “Fireproof.” Where a couple who have let their marriage go and not prioritize each other in their lives, learn in a profound way how to “Fireproof” their marriage. Take your friends and experience the truth about struggle and how we sometimes have trouble admitting how we can’t change others, but we can change ourselves. The star of the film is Kirk Cameron. In the scene where he kisses his actor wife, he is actually kissing his real life wife who doubles for the actress. He told the director of the movie “he will only kiss his wife, even if it is for an acting job.” Wow!

Pray with me: Father thank you for being my refuge and secure stronghold in this time of trouble.
In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Fireproofing,
Elaine
