THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Broken by a series of mounting troubles, Job felt abandoned.
When God finally spoke, He did not tell Job way he was suffering,
instead He drew Jobs attention to a series of natural wonders that are
always whispering to us and sometimes shouting about the wisdom
and power that is far greater than our own. Job 38: 1-11
(Mart Dehaan-Our Daily Bread)
SCRIPTURE:
By you I have been upheld from birth. Psalm 71:6
When we compare our momentary suffering with eternity with God, we realize
how blessed we are and it fillls our hearts with wonder!
Know that I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda

Knowing the Bible helps us know the God of the Bible.
(Our Daily Bread)
SCRIPTURE:
Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day.
Psalm 119:97
Every year I make only one New Year resolution. To read the entire
Bible that year. One year I read the "One Year Bible" the next year I
read F. LaGard Smith's Chronological Bible. This is the year for the
chronological and I'm still in Genesis. Yesterday I read about Joseph
meeting his brothers in Egypt. You know it's like meeting old friends
if you're familiar with the Scriptures. If you have never read the Bible
through in a year, I urge you to try it.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
When we reflect on the power of God's creation, we see the
power of His care for us. (Our Daily Bread)
SCRIPTURE:
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon
and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are
mindful of him? Psalm 8:3-4
Looking up into a vast starry sky, will certainly give you a perspective
of the power of God's creation, and the smallness of man. The same
God that created the vast starry sky, also created the lowly caterpillar
that become a beautiful butterfly! So Psalm 8 continues..."You made
him (man) a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him
with glory and honor!" And in this vast universe, he cares for each of us!
