• As those on the outside edges of the Israelites were more subject to attack, so are those on the outside edge of their local church.

• Those on the outside edge looking in, are often blinded to the much good going on by real and imagined faults. Honest communication is required.
• Satan will accuse, whisper, induce doubt, or anything else to put distance between you and God or others who can point you to Him.
• We owe it to God and each other to try to work through our problems. Our churches and homes are filled with people with unresolved issues.
• Maturity attempts to work through tough times and things. The grass is always greener where you water it. May our children learn this from us.

May God help us to stay in the heart of His will! I hope you will join with me in a season of prayer and fasting for God’s greater blessings upon our churches and country.
