5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY   Luke 7:24-27

²⁴ When John’s followers left, Jesus began talking to the people about John: “What did you go out into the desert to see? A reed^[a] blown by the wind? ²⁵ What did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, people who have fine clothes and much wealth live in kings’ palaces. ²⁶ But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, and I tell you, John is more than a prophet. ²⁷ This was written about him:

‘I will send my messenger ahead of you,
    Who will prepare the way for you.’   Malachi 3:1

PRAYER FOR THE DAY 

Heavenly Father, we want to be a shining light to the nations, bring a word of hope to the peoples of this earth so that the whole world will know there’s salvation in Your name, there’s awe in Your supernatural deeds and there is eternity to be gained in exchange for a temporal world. We don’t want to take for granted Your awesome deeds recorded in Scriptures or things done for us in the past. Would you do it again, Lord!  Reveal Your power anew and make it known in our time, we pray. Amen.


I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING!
