5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

BIBLE TRIVIA-This New Testament passage is from what Old Testament book-   ²³ “The virgin will be pregnant. She will have a son, and they will name him Emmanuel,”^[a] which means “God is with us.”

Answer for today-Isaiah 7:14

 

SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY      Luke 12:32-34

³² “Don’t fear, little flock, because your Father wants to give you the kingdom. ³³ Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Get for yourselves purses that will not wear out, the treasure in heaven that never runs out, where thieves can’t steal and moths can’t destroy. ³⁴ Your heart will be where your treasure is.

PRAYER FOR THE DAY 

Father, we read of those in the Bible from generations long ago who lived upright and godly lives. They were discerning and wise, devoted in their duties such as Anna and Simeon who served in the temple. So many serve as examples of those who walked in Your ways from their youth and remained faithful through their golden years.  Some of their choices brought about multiple blessings and other choices brought forth great sacrifice, persecution, or even death. We also read of those who were proud and foolish, thinking only of themselves, such as Samson, Ananias and Sapphira or Demetrius the Silversmith. They also serve as warnings to us. Since we will soon follow in the steps of our elderly friends help us to store up the wisdom, discipline, and overcoming spirit they convey as they deal with the inevitable physical pain, loss of loved ones, and dependency that are a big part of growing old. It’s in the name of Jesus that we pray. Amen.

I WISH YOU LOVE IN YOUR HEART-PEACE IN YOUR SOUL- JOY IN YOUR LIFE-ALWAYS-
