SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY   Matthew 11:18-19

¹⁸ John came and did not eat or drink like other people. So people say, 'He has a demon.' ¹⁹ The Son of Man came, eating and drinking, and people say, 'Look at him! He eats too much and drinks too much wine, and he is a friend of tax collectors and sinners.' But wisdom is proved to be right by what she does."

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, we kneel before You, in whom all heaven and earth derives its name and pray that out of Your glorious riches we, as the body of Christ, will be strengthened with power through Your Spirit in our inner being.  Unite us in spirit and strengthen us in purpose as we walk together upholding, defending, and proclaiming the Gospel message of Jesus Christ who saves to the uttermost.  We pray for our brothers and sisters who are undergoing persecution because of their uncompromising belief.  Remind us often, since we can’t see them and can easily forget. We want to be a faithful support to them in prayer and thought.  When we all get to heaven what a time of rejoicing that will be when we see Jesus, when we unite with our brothers and sisters from every generation,  from every tribe and nation, from every color and race, and from every tongue and dialect.  It will be an experience beyond description, so fill us with anticipation for later and anchor us through Jesus Christ for now as we await that blessed day of eternal hope.  We pray in the precious name of Jesus.  Amen.

 

I WISH YOU LOVE IN YOUR HEART.....PEACE IN YOUR SOUL.....AND JOY IN YOUR LIFE.....ALWAYS!!!
