SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY   Psalm 141:1-4

Lord, I call to you. Come quickly.
    Listen to me when I call to you.
² Let my prayer be like incense placed before you,
    And my praise like the evening sacrifice.

³ Lord, help me control my tongue;
    Help me be careful about what I say.
⁴ Take away my desire to do evil
    Or to join others in doing wrong.

PRAYER FOR TODAY 

Father, it is the desire of every earnest believer to remain faithful to You. The world often uses the expression, “Be true to yourself” intending that people stand up for what they believe in, but those of the world, by and large, stand for causes and beliefs that often conflict with the holy Word of God. We are also subject to error and our emotions cannot be trusted, so with absolute resolve we choose to be true to You, rather than self. Once we put our hands to the plow we choose to cultivate Christian values and Biblical principles.  We fix our gaze on Jesus so that we don’t lose our way. We join with others of the Christian faith who hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, even as we spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Amen.

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