Psalms 18:1-2
I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.  The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

What of Today’s Verse…

We sing it and we say it in our public prayers:  “Father, God, we love you.”  But notice very carefully the beginning phrase of our verse.  “I love you, O Lord…”  Even in public, community worship, we are taught the importance of a personal expression of love to God.  When is the last time you told the Creator of the universe, “I love you!”

Let us Pray:

Father in heaven, I love you.  I love you because you are more than worthy of my love.  I love you because you have first loved me.  I love you because you sent your son to be my big brother and pay the price for my adoption into your family.  I love you because of your faithfulness.  I love you because you have permitted me in your grace to love you.  In the name of Jesus I thank you.  Amen.’

Words of Wisdom

A person of wisdom should be truthful, without arrogance, without deceit, not slanderous and not hateful.  The wise person should go beyond the evil of greed and miserliness.  Do not get excited by what is old; do not be contented with what is new.   Do not grieve for what is lost or be controlled by desire.
