Psalm 116:1-2
I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice; he heard my cries for mercy. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call on him while I live.

Let us Pray:
Father, who knows each hair on my head and thought of my heart, thank you for hearing my prayers. Thank you for answering so many with the answer I sought from you. Give me patience when I cannot see your hand in other situations. I believe and trust you are there and working for my good even when I can’t see it. Please strengthen my faith so that I will never outlive my trust and faith in you. Through Jesus I ask this. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
Holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.
Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. -There shall in no wise enter it anything that defiles. -There is no spot in you.
Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy. -As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: but as he who hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, be ye holy; for I am holy. And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of person’s judges’ according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear. -Put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; and be renewed in the spirit of your mind; put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. -He hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love.
