Father THANK YOU!!

Scripture: Isaiah 38:19a
"Only the living can praise you as I do today" NLT

Today I can grumble about my health or
I can rejoice that I am alive.

Today I can whine because I have to go to work or
I can shout for joy because I have a job.

Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or
I can be thankful the grass is getting watered for free.

Today I can feel sad that I don't have enough money or
I can joyfully plan my purchases wisely.

Today I can lament over all my parents didn't give me or
I can feel grateful they allowed me to be born.

Today I can murmur because I have to do housework or
I can praise the Lord that HE has provided my shelter.

Today I can complain because I have to go to school or
I can eagerly open my mind and fill it with new tidbits of knowledge.

Yes, Today I Can play a big part in what kind of day I will have! And for me I choose to "Give God the Glory" for all he has done in my life.

Prayer: Father thank you for the opportunities you place before me today to give praise glory and honor. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!

The Danger in Being a Christian: It began as a Jewish sect; fierce persecution only helped it spread Today's reading: Acts 8 Acts 8:1 On that day a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. In some countries, a person who becomes a Christian forfeits a good education and job. And in a few countries, a person who converts risks his or her life. One church historian estimates that more Christians were martyred in the twentieth century than in all preceding centuries put together. Yet, strangely, more often than not, intense persecution of Christians leads to a spurt of growth in the church. An ancient saying expresses this phenomenon: "The blood of martyrs is the seed of the church." The First Big Advance For a while, the new faith enjoyed popular favor. But very soon it involved grave risk. In the book of Acts, the persecution that produced the first Christian martyr, St...

One Day at a Time - May 21

Reflection on Genesis 44:33 Sometimes we get a second chance. When we do, it’s important to seize the opportunity. That’s what Judah did. When his brothers wanted to kill Joseph, Judah didn’t rescue Joseph but instead suggested that they sell him as a slave (see Genesis 37:26–27 ). His second chance came when Benjamin’s life appeared to be in danger. This time Judah put his own life on the line to protect his half brother, Rachel’s other son. Perhaps this commitment was taken into account in the blessings that God inspired Jacob to give his sons; eventually the Messiah came through Judah’s descendants (see Genesis 49:10 ). God often gives us second chances in life. When he does, we need to take advantage of the opportunity and set things right.
