SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY     Acts 9:22-25

²² But Saul grew more powerful. His proofs that Jesus is the Christ were so strong that his own people in Damascus could not argue with him.

²³ After many days, they made plans to kill Saul. ²⁴ They were watching the city gates day and night, but Saul learned about their plan. ²⁵ One night some followers of Saul helped him leave the city by lowering him in a basket through an opening in the city wall.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, we rest in what you have done for us in the past. We trust You for what You are doing presently in our lives and for what You are going to do in the future as we place our full confidence in You.  We have no confidence in the flesh because our weaknesses quickly sabotage our good intentions.  As we hold tightly to the hope we have in You we may feel the turbulent winds of adversity but they will not overcome us. You will keep us on course for You who promised are faithful. We hold tightly to Your teachings that upholds us even when we stumble, keeping us from being cast down. We thank You for Jesus who keeps a firm grip on us allowing no enemy to snatch us out of His hand. Amen.

 

 

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