Psalm 94:18-19
When I said, "My foot is slipping," your love, O Lord, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.
What of Today’s Verse…
While we are amazed at the vastness of God’s reach and the awesome breadth of his power and the glorious sweep of his majesty, the incredible truth is his personal nearness to us. He chooses to know us and be actively involved in the trials and triumphs of each day with us. How will today, or tomorrow, be different because you know his presence and companionship?
Let us Pray:
God, who is near, please hear my heart. I am overwhelmed at your presence near me and within me. The comfort you bring when I am under siege, the strength you offer when I am weak, the courage you give when I am under attack, and the hope you instill when all seems hopeless — these gifts of your presence are precious to me. Without your presence, I would not know where to go or, why I am here. Thank you for knowing me. I look forward to knowing you one day as you know me today. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
POSITIVE vs. NEGATIVE
"Things don’t go wrong and break your heart so you can become bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build you up so you can be all that you were intended to be."
"Instead of always harping on a man’s faults, tell him of his virtues. Try to pull him out of his rut of bad habits. Hold up to him his better self, his real self that can dare and do and win out."
"Keep your face in the sunshine and you can never see the shadow."
"Like taking a morning shower, make the planting of positive thoughts a daily practice."
FORGIVENESS
Forgiving is not forgetting; it is actually remembering-remembering and not using your right to hit back. It is a second chance for a new beginning. Moreover, the remembering part is particularly important. Especially if you do not want to repeat what happened.
If your life is not all you, want it to be perhaps you have some forgiving to do.
