FROM THE CEO
By JOHN Ogden Sr
NOVEMBER is a time to reflect on God β s goodness . It is a time to spend with family and a time to share blessings with others .
β In every thing give thanks : for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you β ( 1 Thessalonians 5:18 , KJV )
The first time I remember reading this verse , I was on an airplane going to Southeast Asia . I was in despair and troubled . As I read this verse , my mind focused on these words β β this is the will of God in Christ Jesus .β Everything came into focus ; it was not about me but the will of God for my life . A peace came over me . I realized God was directing my path . Oh , to know the will of God in our lives . When we give everything over to Him , He takes control . We can trust Him each day without knowing tomorrow . CMA is a ministry of men and women who have said yes to Jesus . The world cannot understand this because they don β t know Jesus . But we understand . We are thankful that God would allow us to be a part of what He is doing in changing the world , one heart at a time .
May we pause today and reflect on the goodness of God with a thankful heart . May this November be a time of peace and joy as we
follow Jesus . May we remember the truly important things in life . God , family , and friends β you can trust JESUS . CMA
