Greetings 👋
Here’s a word of encouragement for the day. Read, enjoy, and have an awesome day and week as we count down to Christmas.
“I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry.
He also brought me up out of a horrible pit,
Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps.
He has put a new song in my mouth—
Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear,
And will trust in the Lord.
Blessed is that man who makes the Lord his trust, And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.” Psalm 40: 1-4 (NKJV).
I’m reading the love scriptures today. What is love and how do we know when it is flourishing in our lives?
@SpeakerJohnson and @POTUS should take a firm stance against any efforts to return Covid-era proxy voting to Congress. Proxy voting under any conditions defies 230 years of tradition and opens the door to abuses down the road. Let’s call it the slippery slope argument or the camel with the nose under the tent syndrome. NO! Proxy voting is a terrible idea! We start with parents and end with hospitalized and members “temporarily” in nursing homes. Soon I will tell you how I really feel about this. #Proxy #Congress @elonmusk @RepLuna @realDonaldTrump @HouseGOP @SenateGOP
We were lost and wandering before we found the Lord. We just didn’t know it!
I was so foolish and ignorant—I must have seemed like a senseless animal to you.
Yet I still belong to you;you hold my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny.
Whom have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth.
My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever.
Those who desert him will perish, for you destroy those who abandon you.
But as for me, how good it is to be near God!nI have made the Sovereign Lord my shelter,band I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do.”
Psalm 73: 22-28 (NIV).
What about you? Are you willing to lose everything for the kingdom of God?
“Then he said to the crowd, ‘If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross daily, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but are yourself lost or destroyed?
If anyone is ashamed of me and my message, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he returns in his glory and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels.” Luke 9: 23-26 (NLT).
