SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY    Matthew 25:28-30

²⁸ "So the master told his other servants, 'Take the bag of gold from that servant and give it to the servant who has ten bags of gold. ²⁹ Those who have much will get more, and they will have much more than they need. But those who do not have much will have everything taken away from them.' ³⁰ Then the master said, 'Throw that useless servant outside, into the darkness where people will cry and grind their teeth with pain.'

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, You provide the answers to life’s questions about everything that concerns us. In answer to life’s greatest question, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” You sent Your Son to be our Savior who would die for our sins so that we might be forgiven and receive an abundant life here on earth and an eternal life in heaven. We are learning to trust in You with all our hearts and not rely on our own understanding. We want to acknowledge You in all areas of our life so that we will seek You above all and the counsel in Your Holy Word for the answers to life’s questions. Jesus truly is the answer for the world today, for He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Amen.

 

 

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-
