Romans 6:23
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift
of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.



My Prayer...

Almighty God, thank You for making your great promises when we
had no right to expect them, much less to demand them. Thank You
for attaching those promises to things in my everyday world so that I
can be reminded of your constant and watchful care.

In Jesus' name I pray.

Amen.

Amen.

JOB. 38. NIV *aka: He is God and we are not so trust HIM in the storms*

The Lord Speaks
38 Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm. He said:

2 “Who is this that obscures my plans
with words without knowledge?
3 Brace yourself like a man;
I will question you,
and you shall answer me.

4 “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?
Tell me, if you understand.
5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!
Who stretched a measuring line across it?
6 On what were its footings set,
or who laid its cornerstone—
7 while the morning stars sang together
and all the angels[a] shouted for joy?

8 “Who shut up the sea behind doors
when it burst forth from the womb,
9 when I made the clouds its garment
and wrapped it in thick darkness,
10 when I fixed limits for it
and set its doors and bars in place,
11 when I said, ‘This far you may come and no farther;
here is where your proud waves halt’?

12 “Have you ever given orders to the morning,
or shown the dawn its place,
13 that it might take the earth by the edges
and shake the wicked out of it?
14 The earth takes shape like clay under a seal;
its features stand out like those of a garment.
15 The wicked are denied their light,
and their upraised arm is broken.

16 “Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea
or walked in the recesses of the deep?
17 Have the gates of death been shown to you?
Have you seen the gates of the deepest darkness?
18 Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth?
Tell me, if you know all this.

19 “What is the way to the abode of light?
And where does darkness reside?
20 Can you take them to their places?
Do you know the paths to their dwellings?
21 Surely you know, for you were already born!
You have lived so many years!

22 “Have you entered the storehouses of the snow
or seen the storehouses of the hail,
23 which I reserve for times of trouble,
for days of war and battle?
24 What is the way to the place where the lightning is dispersed,
or the place where the east winds are scattered over the earth?
25 Who cuts a channel for the torrents of rain,
and a path for the thunderstorm,
26 to water a land where no one lives,
an uninhabited desert,
27 to satisfy a desolate wasteland
and make it sprout with grass?
28 Does the rain have a father?
Who fathers the drops of dew?
29 From whose womb comes the ice?
Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens
30 when the waters become hard as stone,
when the surface of the deep is frozen?

31 “Can you bind the chains[b] of the Pleiades?
Can you loosen Orion’s belt?
32 Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons[c]
or lead out the Bear[d] with its cubs?
33 Do you know the laws of the heavens?
Can you set up God’s[e] dominion over the earth?

34 “Can you raise your voice to the clouds
and cover yourself with a flood of water?
35 Do you send the lightning bolts on their way?
Do they report to you, ‘Here we are’?
36 Who gives the ibis wisdom[f]
or gives the rooster understanding?[g]
37 Who has the wisdom to count the clouds?
Who can tip over the water jars of the heavens
38 when the dust becomes hard
and the clods of earth stick together?

39 “Do you hunt the prey for the lioness
and satisfy the hunger of the lions
40 when they crouch in their dens
or lie in wait in a thicket?
41 Who provides food for the raven
when its young cry out to God
and wander about for lack of food?

Matthew 19:25-26
25 When the disciples heard this, they
were greatly astonished
and asked, “Who then can be saved?”
26 Jesus looked at them and said,
“With man this is impossible, but with
God all things are possible.”


My Prayer...

Holy LORD, please bless Your Church with leaders
of great faith, courage, endurance, and integrity.
Bless us with courage to answer You when You call us
through our leaders to serve You.

In Jesus' name I pray.

Amen.

[Charon]

Amen.

Ephesians 2:8
8 For it is by Grace you have been saved, through faith—and this
is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—



My Prayer...

Loving Father, please give me wisdom to see through the deceptiveness
of the devil's schemes while I seek to live Your truth and display Your
character in my life. Thank You for Your power at work in me and in my life.

In Jesus' name I pray.

Amen.

[Charon]

Amen.

Ezekiel 18:32
32 For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone,
declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent and live!


My Prayer...

Thank You, great and mighty LORD, for setting
me free by your grace. I know, dear Father, that this
gift was given to me at great cost — the humiliating torture,
death, and burial of your Son, Jesus Christ. So use me,
dear Father, to bless others who have not yet found their
deliverance and freedom in Jesus.

I pray this in the name of my Savior, Jesus.

Amen.

[Charon]

Amen.
