SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY-   Matthew 24:4-8

 ⁴ Jesus answered, "Be careful that no one fools you. ⁵Many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will fool many people.⁶ You will hear about wars and stories of wars that are coming, but don't be afraid. These things must happen before the end comes.⁷ Nations will fight against other nations; kingdoms will fight against other kingdoms. There will be times when there is no food for people to eat, and there will be earthquakes in different places. ⁸ These things are like the first pains when something new is about to be born.

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY 

 

Loving Father, from Your generous hands flows every good and precious gift.  We receive physical, material, relational, and spiritual blessings that far surpass our daily needs.  We acknowledge that You are the one and only true God, the Savior and Redeemer of our soul. We give You glory for all that we are and all that we hope to be.  Be glorified in and through us as we walk in humility and express thanksgiving to You in Jesus’ name we pray.  Amen.

 

MAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE LOVE TO SHARE, HEALTH TO SPARE AND FRIENDS THAT CARE!
