HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
1-Without wisdom our knowledge is useless-
2-Wealth, honor, power or prestige add nothing to our value in God's eyes,
but the faithful works we do for him have eternal value-
3-Prayer is human communication with God-
4-When praying, don't let the absence of an immediate answer cause you to
doubt or resent God-
5-Don't take God for granted and treat him as a vending machine-
STRANGE THOUGHT-At my favorite bakery, I order a bran muffin every day. I
am one of their regular customers-
I'VE LEARNED-God evaluates obedience, not potential-
DID YOU KNOW-The phrase "jet lag" was once called boat lag, before
airplanes existed-
5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY Luke 3:1-6
It
was the fifteenth year of the rule of Tiberius Caesar. These men were under
Caesar: Pontius Pilate, the ruler of Judea; Herod, the ruler of Galilee; Philip,
Herod’s brother, the ruler of Iturea and Traconitis; and Lysanias, the ruler of
Abilene. 2 Annas and Caiaphas were the high priests. At this time,
the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the desert. 3 He went all
over the area around the Jordan River preaching a baptism of changed hearts and
lives for the forgiveness of sins. 4 As it is written in the book
of Isaiah the prophet:
“This is a voice of one
Who calls out in the desert:
‘Prepare the way for the Lord.
Make the road straight for him.
5 Every valley should be filled in,
And every mountain and hill should be made flat.
Roads with turns should be made straight,
And rough roads should be made smooth.
6 And all people will know about the salvation of God!’” Isaiah 40:3–5

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Father,
each spring as we observe tiny featherless fledglings pressed against their
mothers in their nest, we’re reminded of the human love children experience from
their parents’ safekeeping. We thank You for the loving care You extend to us
through the preordained parents who’ve provided for us from birth to
independence. Thank You for their model of love, sacrifice, duty, protection,
and other virtuous qualities needed to properly raise a family. It has greatly
influenced the way we raise our own children.We also pray for those whose relationship with their parent is a role reversal where they must act as the parent when their own parent behaves as a needy or even defiant child. May Your multiplied mercies sustain these caregivers in their ongoing challenging role so that, above all, You are honored and they find deep peace in the midst of the turmoil. Thank You, Father, for our human family, our spiritual family, and for our heavenly family that awaits our arrival on Your appointed day. In the name of Christ Jesus Your Son we pray, amen
LIVE SIMPLY! LOVE GENEROUSLY! CARE DEEPLY! SPEAK KINDLY! LEAVE THE REST WITH GOD!!
