Scripture: 1st Chronicles 29:14-16 But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to make this freewill offering? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you. For we are aliens and transients before you, as were all our ancestors; our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no hope. O Lord our God,
Scripture: Acts 1:21-22 So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us—one of these must become a witness with us to his resurrection. Thought for the Day: One of the first points of business following the ascension
Scripture: Ephesians 5:10 Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord. Thought for the Day: I must confess that these words of scripture spoke to me with their simplistic candor. Though I could spend a lifetime trying to figure out all the things that please the Lord, my Christian faith calls me to look at the life of Jesus for some very attainable options. What I
Scripture: Jonah 3:2 “Get up, go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim to it the message that I tell you.” Thought for the Day: The phrase ‘get up and go’ appears more than fifteen times in the Bible. God is often telling people to get up from whatever they are doing and to go to a specific destination. On a few occasions it is to escape danger,
Scripture: Psalm 118:24 This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Thought for the Day: By faith, we claim that this day belongs to God. The question for each of us today is this: How will our lives communicate the conviction that the loving presence of God reigns over this day? Are they just pretty words? Prayer: Lord God,
Scripture: Deuteronomy 10:17-19 For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who is not partial and takes no bribe, who executes justice for the orphan and the widow, and who loves the strangers, providing them food and clothing. You shall also love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. Thought for the Day:
Scripture: Psalm 63:1 O God, you are my God, I see you, my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. Thought for the Day: When we were living in Florida and making one of our visits to Disney World, we ran into a couple from the distant land of Houston, TX. It was a
Scripture: Psalm 10:12 Rise up, O Lord; O God, lift up your hand; do not forget the oppressed. Thought for the Day: It’s now been two months since the group known as Boko Haram kidnapped more than 200 school girls in Nigerian. That’s more than 60 days, more than 1,400 hours. I cannot imagine being a parent of one of these girls. Every minute of every day has
Scripture: Psalm 25:9 The Lord leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way. Thought for the Day: I love it when I read a piece of scripture, and within 10 minutes, I find myself reading something that directly relates. In this case, I had read the verse from Psalm 25, and then flipped to Facebook to find a CS Lewis quote posted by
Scripture: Psalm 6:9 The Lord has heard my supplication; the Lord accepts my prayer. Thought for the Day: F.B. Meyer wrote, “The greatest tragedy of life is not unanswered prayer, but un-offered prayer.” To encounter the Source of our Being, the Creator of Life, and to know this mysterious and infinite God hears our prayers – accepts them in the divine heart – is a source of great
