Things are unfolding fast as Russia continues its military activities in Ukraine. Given all that’s happening, I won’t have the opportunity to write an article this week for our normal Saturday morning Biblical Encouragement series. Instead, we encourage you to pray for the people of Ukraine in this very difficult time. May God strengthen, protect, and provide for them.

Initial reports are that Ukrainian military personnel and civilians alike are fighting and dying to defend their country. Let’s support them in prayer as many choose to give their “last full measure of devotion.”
