Thoughts on Today's Verse....

I love the coast of Maine in the northeastern United States. I love the craggy shorelines, the crashing surf, and the lighthouses perched at strategic and well-fortified points along the coastlines. I cannot help but think of our heavenly Father when I watch the gloom gather, the fog build, and then see the violence of the impending storm noisily make its way onshore. There, in the storm - with lightning ripping through the sky, winds howling, and surf crashing - stands the light that guides the way, strong against the elements and a beacon of direction and hope. Yes, the Lord, Yahweh the God of Israel, the Almighty Creator of all things, is my light and my salvation. My life, the eternal part of me, is entrusted with him. I choose not to fear. I place my trust in him because "The Lord is my light and my salvation...!"

My Prayer...

Father in heaven, I praise you for your faithfulness through the ages. I thank you for your steadfast love, which has blessed each generation, giving hope in times of darkness, salvation in times of wantonness, and strength in times of weakness. Now I ask that you be with several people I love, who need your palpable presence as they fight their battles... (Please mention several of your friends and acquaintances who need the Lord's presence at this time.) In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Recently, members of his church received ESV Bibles, including his children who never previously had their own Bibles. Now they look forward to reading the Bible together every evening. The Word of God is what tells me (Antony) ... that I'm not just here to provide for [my children] meals or their education, but also I need to be concerned—even much more concerned—about their spiritual well-being. You're invited to provide God's Word to those in need, like Antony's family and church. Make a difference by providing Bibles to those in need!
