Just a couple verses I am mulling over in my mind and heart today. Thought I would pass them on.

"Consider it pure joy, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not laking anything."
( James 1:2-4 NIV)

"God is keeping careful watch over us and the future. The Day is coming when you'll have it all - life healed and whole. I know how great this makes you feel, even though you have to put up with every kind of aggrvation in the meantime. Pure gold put in the fire comes out of it proved pure; genuine faith put through this suffering comes out proved genuine. When Jesus wraps this all up, it's your faith, not your gold that God will have on display as evidence of His victory." 1Peter 1:5-7 The Message)

Thanks --you encouraged me to seek out scripture and God is faithful. One of my readings: The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name.
--Zechariah 14:9
New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
"Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Jesus taught us to pray for the day that the LORD would be the recognized king over all the earth. We look forward to that, because our faith will be shown true and the LORD himself will be glorified as he should be. In a world of profanity, a world where God's name is blasphemed, every knee will bow and every tongue confess that he is LORD, Yahweh, incomparable without rival.

MY PRAYER...
Great Almighty LORD, work to bring yourself glory, in these days. Do mighty works that show your Sovereignty. (healing for Palmer)Help us as we seek to bring others to call on your name and praise your grace. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.
