Once again we thank God for the privilege of gathering together for His glory. May this be an unforgettable moment.
On Friday January 22nd, a massive snow storm began to affect the East Coast of the United States. It had a storm surge of five feet, with winds that were over 50mph, visibility of 0.25 miles and snow accumulation of about 16 – 36 inches. All of these factors brought everything to a grinding halt. According to the Associated Press, more than 150,000 homes and business were without power in North Carolina. The storm also brought extreme flooding in parts of New Jersey. Schools up and down the East Coast were closed. Federal government offices in Washington D.C were shut down. Approximately 31 persons died as a result of the storm and over 80 million Americans were affected.
But the most interesting thing about this storm was the name it was given. People gave it different names, but the official name given to it by the weather service was “Jonas” (Jonah). In Lk.11:29-30 Jesus said, “…This is an evil generation, they seek a sign and there shall no sign be given it but the sign of Jonas the prophet. For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. “
Jonah was a prophet whom God sent to warn the people of Nineveh in 760 BC about God’s pending judgment on that city because of its wickedness. Could it be that this storm, Jonas, is just a warning to our nation of God’s pending Judgment? Let us pray earnestly for our nation that as the people of Nineveh humbled themselves and repented before God, that our nation would do the same.

Spanish Scripture: (John 14:16)
“Y yo le pediré al Padre, y él les dará otro
Consolador para que los acompañe siempre.”
-Juan 14:16 (NVI)
God Is in the Details
“And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever.” —John 14:16
The Lord cares about every tiny detail of your life. People who don’t believe this truth have a difficult time experiencing real intimacy with Him. You can and should talk to Him about everything. Nothing is too big and nothing is too small. He will help you put in your contact lens or drive in snow. He said, “I am with you always” (see Matthew 28:20 NIV), and He is always ready to help, strengthen, encourage, or comfort you.
The Holy Spirit is called “The Helper.” He is also referred to as “The Standby.” I love that He is standing by me at all times, waiting to assist me with whatever I need. But He is a gentleman and won’t push His way into our lives. We open the door for Him to work simply by asking, which is prayer.
God is love, and when we dwell in His love, enjoying and being aware of it, we dwell in God. To dwell means, “to live and remain in.” “Dwelling” is not an occasional visit, but a permanent, fixed situation. I don’t say, “I visit my house.” I say, “I live in my house.” God wants us to say the same about Him and His love for us. His love is where we live. God is with us at all times, watching over us, keeping us safe, overseeing every detail of our lives. And the Holy Spirit is standing by to help you!
Love God Today: Whatever you need today—a parking place, help navigating a tough situation at work—know that God cares about the little things and the details of your life, and He wants you to depend on Him. – Joyce Meyer
