Church Family and Friends,

I got my driver's license on my sixteenth birthday. It was on a Friday. I knew it was on a Thursday or Friday because the youth group prayed for me to pass the test during the youth meeting on Wednesday night. I looked it up, and it was on Friday. For the last 16,568 days, I have had my driver's license. Every day I drive, I usually cross at least two bridges. There are days I may cross 20 or 30 bridges before the day is over. The I65 bridge in Decatur is two miles long. It is very safe to say I have probably crossed over 100,000 bridges. You say why in the world are you telling us this. Except for one bridge in Booneville, Kentucky, I have never stopped the car and got out and look under the bridge to see if it was safe and could be trusted. Even in Booneville, Kentucky, after the school bus drove over the bridge, we drove the van over the bridge too. You may say, but why are you telling this. It would seem we trust the bridges around here with our lives every day and don't think anything about it. Do you realize God is more trustworthy than any bridge we have ever crossed? I confess there are times I struggle with trusting God as I should. Next time you cross a bridge, think about trusting God. If you trust the bridge to hold you up, you should have no trouble trusting God. God is more trustworthy than any bridge. (2 Thessalonians 3:3) But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. I request your prayers today for the Jimmy Newby family. Thank you for praying.
