Monday Jan 31, 2022

Some of you need to hear this news today: you are never alone and God cares for you. In Luke 10:40, Martha knew something about that when she cried out to Jesus, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” Do you ever feel like Martha? 1 Peter 5:7 “Cast all your cares on him because he cares for you.” You are never alone.
