In everything give thanks:
for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. I Thessalonians 5:18 It is the last day of 2012 I could make a proud and self-righteous sounding statement that I plan to stay up late into the night to pray... Finally, Snow! It is about time. I awoke this morning to find lots of snow on the ground, and plenty of it still swirling around by the wind...
Likewise I say unto you,
there is joy in the presence for the angels of God over one sinner that repents. Luke 15:10 I am very happy right now. Earlier today I was able to lead someone to the Lord... Thankfully the prison’s administration was kind enough to allow us to have a special Christmas Day service...
I have several friends that I correspond with who are in the military. One of them, Jack,* recently returned from a tour overseas and is now back in the states. He’s a career man and has been in the U.S. marines for twenty years...
The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately wicked: who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9 This is probably the last time I will write anything about last Friday’s school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, unless something comes to mind that I feel I must share... You are of your father, the devil...
He was a murderer from the beginning. John 8:44 This morning’s worship service in the chapel went well. There was a solemnness in the air, which was to be expected... Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Psalm 61:1-2 Since yesterday the cry of my heart has been loud and heavy. The non-stop news coverage about a seemingly inexplicable shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, has almost brought this world to a stop... My soul longs for thy salvation
but I hope in thy word. Psalm 119:81 It was a busy day, and my time spent this afternoon with the men at the Intermediate Care Program (E-North) was very productive. I have been seeing more of an interest among them regarding spiritual matters, and this is encouraging... A friend of mine, after attending the funeral of a godly woman, wrote and said, "An ounce of Christian mother is worth a pound of preacher..."
I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day;
the night cometh, when no man can work. John 9:4 I was thinking today during my time of devotion, how we do not know how much time is left before the Lord calls us home, or before things change in our nation where it will become much more difficult to share our faith and to take a stand for righteousness... I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Hebrews 13:5 Today’s worship service went very well. It was also well attended... |
