The faithfulness of God and the Holy Spirit moved me to tears. If you are reading this you are part of my house and you are one of the people that I lifted up before God in prayer today. Lets join together and praise God!
Today’s Prayer
Father, only if we repent and seek Your forgiveness and turn from our self-centered and self-indulgent ways, only as we turn around and fully dedicate ourselves to discovering Your priorities for our lives, only then can we pray expectantly, “God bless America.” Help us, Lord, to do our part and to be faithful to You, as we expect You to be faithful to us. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
Let’s eat.
A Call to Praise
Psalm 138
1 I give you thanks, O Lord, with all my heart;
I will sing your praises before the gods.
2 I bow before your holy Temple as I worship.
I praise your name for your unfailing love and faithfulness;
for your promises are backed
by all the honor of your name.
3 As soon as I pray, you answer me;
you encourage me by giving me strength.
4 Every king in all the earth will thank you, Lord,
for all of them will hear your words.
5 Yes, they will sing about the Lord’s ways,
for the glory of the Lord is very great.
6 Though the Lord is great, he cares for the humble,
but he keeps his distance from the proud.
7 Though I am surrounded by troubles,
you will protect me from the anger of my enemies.
You reach out your hand,
and the power of your right hand saves me.
8 The Lord will work out his plans for my life—
for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever.
Don’t abandon me, for you made me.
Quote of the Day
What God asks is a will which will no longer be divided between Him and any creature, a will pliant in His hands, which neither desires anything nor refuses anything, which wants without reservation everything which He wants, and which never, under any pretext, wants anything which He does not want. ~Francois Fenelon~
