daily prayer

     Good morning! How are we faithing? Man, there are times when I don't understand why mankind would treat other mankind the way they do. Are they that vile? Are they that vindictive? The answer is yes and in spite of that demeanor, Jesus still loved mankind enough to sacrifice himself for us.  Sometimes it just baffles me but I sure am glad he did. As we read the Word we see a peace loving person in Jesus who was always respectful, honest, loving and willing to give all and wasn't even concerned with what came back to him. He did for those who could not return anything in this world to him.  He gave of his entire being.  There is quite the principle that we should follow.  Are we capable of that kind of devotion? Are we the Christ? Of course not but we sure can reach for that kind of love for our fellow mankind even when the flesh in us wants to slap the first 4 layers of skin off their face. Jesus even warned us that these things would happen to us because of our belief in Messiah so when things happen that just make no sense, remember the warning and don't be surprised.  Even during those things, salvation still is for those who believe.



Mat 10:16  Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves.
Mat 10:17  But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to the sanhedrins, and they will scourge you in their synagogues.
Mat 10:18  And you shall be brought before governors and kings for My sake, for a testimony against them and the nations.

remember the lost...remember the emergency workers...

Heavenly Father,

   Thank you for your long-suffering for our sake.  Lord, forgive us when we forget you and act on own desires that are contrary to the Word. We are sorry.  Father, teach us to be courageous.  Teach us to be wise in all things.  Grant us foresight so we don't walk headlong into sin. In Jesus name, amen
