SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY     Luke 8:51-56

⁵¹ When Jesus went to the house, he let only Peter, John, James, and the girl’s father and mother go inside with him. ⁵² All the people were crying and feeling sad because the girl was dead, but Jesus said, “Stop crying. She is not dead, only asleep.”

⁵³ The people laughed at Jesus because they knew the girl was dead. ⁵⁴ But Jesus took hold of her hand and called to her, “My child, stand up!” ⁵⁵ Her spirit came back into her, and she stood up at once. Then Jesus ordered that she be given something to eat. ⁵⁶ The girl’s parents were amazed, but Jesus told them not to tell anyone what had happened.

 

PRAYER FOR THE DAY 

Father, You are King, Your throne is eternal; You are the First and the Last. You spoke through Christ Jesus, Your everlasting Son, Christ as God in human form. God, You continue to speak by Your Spirit in Your ageless Holy Word expounding Your own message, now as then. Through the rise and fall of nations one sure faith still holds us fast. You abide, Your Word is unchanging. Though all hell should endeavor to shake this firm foundation built on Your Holy Word, we will never forsake it, for the darkened veil will soon be lifted and we will see You face to face in the fullness of Your glory. Praise be to God!  Amen.


May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy-
