SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY Romans 11:33-36

Praise to God

³³ Yes, God's riches are very great, and his wisdom and knowledge have no end! No one can explain the things God decides or understand his ways. ³⁴ As the Scripture says,
"Who has known the mind of the Lord,
Or who has been able to give him advice?" — Isaiah 40:13
³⁵ "No one has ever given God anything
That he must pay back." — Job 41:11

³⁶ Yes, God made all things, and everything continues through him and for him. To him be the glory forever! Amen.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, we read in Proverbs that “The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death” and “The fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.” We must choose to fear You rather than man so that we prepare ourselves for living as sojourners here below with heaven in view at all times. We can do this when we live as strangers in reverent fear of You, our Father in heaven. Amen.

I WISH YOU ENOUGH---
