Good day everyone. What a wonderfully cold morning we in the Chicago area are dealing with today. It seems so easy just to turn over in our warm beds and get some extra rest but the fact of the matter is we have work to do so get ready.
Today’s Prayer
Dear Lord Jesus, help us understand that we need balance in our lives, of work and recreation, of community service and family togetherness, and that all of these areas must be held together by our Christ centered-ness. In everything we do, help us to reflect You. Let us listen for the guidance of Your Holy Spirit in all of our activities, so that Your glory may be shown through us. In the wonderful name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
All Christians
1 Peter 3:8-12
Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude. Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will bless you for it. For the Scriptures say, “If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies. Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it. The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right, and his ears are open to their prayers. But the Lord turns his face against those who do evil.”
Quote of the Day
Just because the current giant you are facing looks like one you defeated in the past, don’t buy the lie that you never really won the first battle! By the strength of God’s grace, you trusted the Almighty and conquered your Goliath. The first giant is dead. Satan is masquerading as your former enemy so he can slip past your faith and regain entrance into your life. Resist him.
