Greetings š
āBecause of the Lordās great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, āThe Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.
The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.ā Lamentation 3: 22-26 (NIV).
Jesus shared many words of comfort to his followers. The Judeo-Christian Bible is rich in sources of comfort. We need to remember and meditate on verses that encourage us.
āAs you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.
My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me,that they may be one as we are oneā I in them and you in meāso that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.ā
John 18: 17-23 (NKJV).
This is a good reminder of a way of life thatās foreign for many of us. Wishing you a blessed week and day.
Nashvillians please be aware that Metro City Council has listed on its agenda a resolution condemning Israel and its treatment of the Palestinian people. The resolution ignores reality and risks fueling more antisemitism. Itās time to send your city council member a strongly worded message about this proposed legislation and whether it represents the will of the people. #Nashville #Israel #antisemitism @MetroNashville #Hamas
