Our Covenant-Keeping God
By: Sherilyn Honken

The morning after my Aunt Helen died, as I rode my bike through the sprinkle of raindrops, our gracious Father spoke precious reminders to my heart. The raindrops of our tears are seen by our Father. He records them and keeps them in a bottle, but there is coming a day when He will wipe away every tear from our eyes. After the raindrops, or even the torrents of our tears, the sun is still there behind the clouds. The Son is always there, shining His light into our darkness and bringing hope and healing.

As I rode, on one side of me was a rainbow, a reminder of our covenant-keeping God. He has kept His covenant with Noah, with Abraham, and sent His Son Jesus to make a new covenant, opening the way for all who believe in Him to become children of God and spend eternity with Him.

On the other side of me the sun rays were shining down through the clouds—like I’ve always imagined it will look like when Jesus returns—a reminder that Jesus is coming back again. Our covenant-keeping God promised that Jesus would return, and we know that He will. Because we have this hope, even through our raindrops of tears, we know that weeping may endure for the night, but JOY comes in the morning. We know that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. We know that there will be a day when there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, but only everlasting Joy and Light.

🙏Thank You, Father, for the reminders that You are a covenant-keeping God and that Jesus is coming back again. Even so come quickly, Lord Jesus. Amen.

Being Used By God
By: Abby Palacios

Sometimes God uses us, and we don’t even realize it.

It’s no secret that our son Carlos loves FCC. This kid lives and breathes this church and would come to every event, whether it was for him or not. When it came time for the Gingerbread Bash, he grabbed every flyer off the table because he planned to invite everyone in his 5th-grade class! Eventually, we convinced him to narrow it down to just a few friends. One of those friends was Jack.

Jack’s mom is Jenny Groen. Some may know Jenny through Arrive Ministries. On the day of the Bash, Jack and Jenny came, along with one of the families Arrive Ministries had been helping. This family had been afraid to leave their home because of rumors that ICE agents were in town, but Carlos’ invitation gave them a reason to come somewhere safe, even if only for a little while.

Carlos also prays before every meal—no matter what, no matter where, and no matter the country. During our recent trip to Mexico, he made sure we prayed before every meal. His cousin watched curiously and kept asking what we were doing and why.

After the loss of my mother-in-law and other difficult circumstances, while my sister-in-law never stopped believing, she and her family had stopped attending church. On our last day before returning home, she told us that our niece had been asking to go to church because she had seen Carlos pray and wanted to learn more. That was in January, and they’ve been back at church ever since.

Carlos may not realize how God is using him, but He certainly is.

🙏Thank You, heavenly Father, for working through each of us in great or small ways. Help us to proclaim our faith in You wherever we go. Amen.
