Answer for today      Genesis 4:9

SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY      Luke 12:13-15

¹³ Someone in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide with me the property our father left us.”

¹⁴ But Jesus said to him, “Who said I should judge or decide between you?” ¹⁵ Then Jesus said to them, “Be careful and guard against all kinds of greed. Life is not measured by how much one owns.”

PRAYER FOR THE DAY 

Father, since we live in a sin-filled world we’re bound to experience the consequences of our own sins and the sins of others. There is tremendous consolation when we hold onto the promise that these pain-filled consequences will come to an end and not follow us to the promised land.  Much of what we go through is a testing of our faith and we know that faith that cannot be tested is faith that cannot be trusted.  May this testing shape our attitudes so that we glorify You no matter what we experience in this life, for some of the greatest living sermons that show people the way to eternal life and righteous living, is when we’re put to the test and we shine forth like gold.  Many will not pick up a Bible to learn of Your eternal principles but they will observe our actions and attitudes.  Keep us faithful no matter the cost or pain.  In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

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