s we reflect on 75 years of our church's history, we're reminded that there's often more to the story than we realize. The journey of faith is full of surprises, just like the discovery of the Fruitland Mission Society's early beginnings. This teaches us to appreciate the layers of our spiritual heritage and the continuous work of God through generations. The central message revolves around Proverbs 3:5-6, calling us to trust in the Lord with all our hearts. This trust isn't blind faith, but a relationship built on God's proven faithfulness. We're challenged to apply this trust in all areas of life - our finances, relationships, and even in uncertain times. The wisdom of Proverbs isn't about rigid rules, but about discerning God's guidance in various situations. As we face our own challenges, let's remember that trusting God doesn't guarantee an easy path, but it does promise His presence and ultimate purpose in our lives.
