Our God of the Lost and Found

our Ben



"Rejoice with me, I have found my lost coin."
(Luke 15:9)

This week has been a story of the lost and found. 

On Sunday after church, a 12-year-old friend lost his brand-spankin'-new Apple watch at the bottom of the Coosa River. We prayed, and Jesus guided Ben to the lost treasure.

Yesterday, I learned that I had given an outdated address to my kind and generous publisher, who had donated 80 copies of my book, Sea Billows, to kids at Palm City Church in Wesley Chapel, Florida. I panicked and prayed and enlisted family and friends to pray. The lost books were tracked down within 30 minutes!

All praise to our God of the lost and found.

Jesus said, "The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost" (Luke 19:10).

Paul wrote: "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved" (Romans 10:13).

Are you lost, beloved? Call on the Savior, Jesus Christ the Lord!

"I once was lost, but now I'm found. Was blind, but now I see!" 1
