SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY     Acts 2:22-28

² “People of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus from Nazareth was a very special man. God clearly showed this to you by the miracles, wonders, and signs he did through Jesus. You all know this, because it happened right here among you. ²³ Jesus was given to you, and with the help of those who don’t know the law, you put him to death by nailing him to a cross. But this was God’s plan which he had made long ago; he knew all this would happen. ²⁴ God raised Jesus from the dead and set him free from the pain of death, because death could not hold him. ²⁵ For David said this about him:

‘I keep the Lord before me always.
    Because he is close by my side,
    I will not be hurt.
²⁶ So I am glad, and I rejoice.
    Even my body has hope,
²⁷ because you will not leave me in the grave.
    You will not let your Holy One rot.
²⁸ You will teach me how to live a holy life.
    Being with you will fill me with joy.’ Psalm 16:8–11

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, even as a spring lake bubbles forth with fresh, clear water may my heart be like a wellspring bubbling forth with light and life. May the choices I make today reflect the Voice of Truth that points me in the way of life everlasting. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

LIVE SIMPLY! LOVE GENEROUSLY! CARE DEEPLY! SPEAK KINDLY! LEAVE THE REST WITH GOD!!
