SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY-Galatians 4:21-23

²¹ Some of you still want to be under the law. Tell me, do you know what the law says?²² The Scriptures say that Abraham had two sons. The mother of one son was a slave woman, and the mother of the other son was a free woman.²³ Abraham's son from the slave woman was born in the normal human way. But the son from the free woman was born because of the promise God made to Abraham.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, we pray that with unveiled faces we will reflect Jesus’ glory as we are being transformed into Your likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord Jesus. May we not be lacking in zeal but keep our spiritual fervor as we serve You. Keep us joyful in hope, patient in affliction and faithful in prayer as we share with God’s people who are in need and the world that is even needier as they lack a relationship with You. Amen.

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