SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY     Isaiah 53:4-5

⁴ But he took our suffering on him
    And felt our pain for us.
    We saw his suffering
    And thought God was punishing him.
⁵ But he was wounded for the wrong we did;
    He was crushed for the evil we did.
   The punishment, which made us well, was given to him,
    And we are healed because of his wounds.

 

 

PRAYER FOR THE DAY

 

Father, I know you came primarily for our spiritual healing, but I also know that during your earthly ministry you brought physical healing.  So,  I want to affirm to you that I thank you for both.

 

LIVE SIMPLY! LOVE GENEROUSLY! CARE DEEPLY! SPEAK KINDLY! LEAVE THE REST WITH GOD!
