SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY     Matthew  25:14-18

¹⁴ "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who was going to another place for a visit. Before he left, he called for his servants and told them to take care of his things while he was gone. ¹⁵ He gave one servant five bags of gold, another servant two bags of gold, and a third servant one bag of gold, to each one as much as he could handle. Then he left.¹⁶ The servant who got five bags went quickly to invest the money and earned five more bags.¹⁷ In the same way, the servant who had two bags invested them and earned two more. ¹⁸ But the servant who got one bag went out and dug a hole in the ground and hid the master's money.

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Jesus, in the maze of life’s events where we’re often a passenger on the rollercoaster of life’s ups and downs, may we never lose sight of You.  You are the unseen but ever-present Shepherd who protects, guides and tenderly comforts us in all our trouble. Thank You, Lord, that when change is constantly about us, You remain steadfast, faithful, and dependable.  You are the Anchor that keeps us grounded in the unseen eternal truths that we build our lives upon.  Keep us faithful and help us to always believe!  Amen.

 

SMILE, LAUGH, FORGIVE, BELIEVE AND LOVE, OVER AND OVER AGAIN!
