SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY 1 Corinthians 14:18-21

¹⁸ I thank God that I speak in different kinds of languages more than all of you.¹⁹ But in the church meetings I would rather speak five words I understand in order to teach others than thousands of words in a different language.

²⁰ Brothers and sisters, do not think like children. In evil things be like babies, but in your thinking you should be like adults. ²¹ It is written in the Scriptures:
"With people who use strange words and foreign languages
I will speak to these people.
But even then they will not listen to me," — Isaiah 28:11–12
Says the Lord.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, would You show us through Your Holy Spirit and the Holy Scriptures and by the examples of committed believers what it is to live for the eternal. It seems that we indulge with the world far too much and it prioritizes our time, finances, and interests. As we love You more, we love the things of the world less. We see them for what they really are – temporary, broken, and/or sin-ridden. As we fix our eyes on You the things of this world grow strangely dim. We want to spend more time with You which will direct our thoughts and affections toward heaven. We want to deposit our investments there so that our treasure chest is growing with rust-proof, moth-proof, and thief-proofed treasures that last for all eternity. In the Name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

WISHING YOU LOVE IN YOUR HEART.....PEACE IN YOUR SOUL.....AND JOY IN YOUR LIFE.....ALWAYS!!!
