THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Following Jesus, as we serve the crowds around us. It may take the form
of social services, education, or financial contributions, instead of loves
and fish. But it will occur where our compassion and resources intersect.
(Billy Silvey-Power for Today.)

To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an
example, that you should follow his steps. 1 Peter 2:21

Psalm 63:1
When it is very hot and dry and you work, walk or run, you become so
thirsty... your body craves water and nothing quenches your thirst like
water. God wants you to crave spiritual water the same way!
Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda
THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Desert Streams:
On your journey in life you will pass through desert areas, dry
parched land. When you do, you must remember that God will
faithfully provide, for you, just as He does for the plants and
creatures of the desert. (Moments of Peace in the Presence of God)
SCRIPTURE:
O God, you are my God. Earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you,
my body longs for you in a weary land where there is no water.
Psalm 63:1
When it is very hot and dry and you work, walk or run, you become so
thirsty... your body craves water and nothing quenches your thirst like
water. God wants you to crave spiritual water the same way!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Did you ever wonder what happened to the 56 men that signed the
Declaration of Independence? Five were capture by the British and died.
Twelve had their homes burned. Nine died of wounds from the war. Vandals
and soldiers looted the property of some. One's wife was jailed and she died there.
All 56 men were well educated, soft spoken men of means. They had security, but
valued freedom above all that. Thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price
they paid for our freedom. (Googled-Signers of the Declaration of Independence)
SCRIPTURE:
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and
not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
Let us all be in prayer for that hope and future of our nation!

Greetings: God bless you this day!
THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
It is easy to say that we would never try to assume God's role.
But do we? Do we often forget our role as a tool in God's hands?
Do we forget we are here to pursue His goals? Today determine
to submit to Him. Let His hands use you for His glory.
(Mark Young-Power for Today)
SCRIPTURE:
Does the ax raise itself above him who swings it? Does a saw boast
against him who uses it? Isaiah 10:15
Do we determine in our mind before we pray, how we think God should
answer our prayers?
