-- 2 Corinthians 13:14
THOUGHT:
I have a friend in Jesus who has taught me the power of sharing a spiritual blessing with others. I can't think of a better one than the short blessing in today's verse! Grace, love, and fellowship -- all rooted in the eternal,…

Similarities between the Son and the Sun
Life depends on both. The Son, spiritual life and the Sun, earthly life.
Both shed light upon the world.
Both have an amazing power.
They are both pronounced the same.
Both are of God. The Sun was created by God. The Son is an extension of God.
The Sun is just a…

Not Finished Yet!
Regardless of the label people put on you (senior, baby-boomer, retired person), regardless of the number of birthdays you've celebrated, you are still here. And as long as you are here, you are not there, and as long as you are not there, it means God still has a purpose for you here.
When Jesus was on the cross, the last thing He said was, "It is finished." After He made…

The Conditions of Peace
Peace is inevitable
to those who offer peace.
Peace is an attribute in you.
You cannot find it outside.
When the wish for peace is genuine,
the means for finding it is given
in a form each mind that seeks for it
in honesty can understand.
Whatever form the lesson takes is planned for him
in such a way that he cannot mistake it,
if his asking is sincere.
But if he…

VERSE:
And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.
-- Isaiah 12:4
THOUGHT:
It is wrong to think God's love for the nations began only with Jesus and the Great Commission. Remember Jonah's preaching to save Israel's great enemy, Nineveh? Remember the…

Dear Father,
Thank you that there is no condemnation for me now that I am in Christ Jesus. Through the principle of the Spirit of life in him I have been set free from the principle of sin and death.
You, my God, did what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. You sent your own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin. Through him you condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the just requirement of the law might be…

VERSE: He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
-- Psalm 91:1
THOUGHT:
How good it is to be as close to God as his shadow and to share in the comfort of his sheltering presence. He is not far if our hearts choose to draw near him. Let's choose to draw near!

O great Almighty God, tender Shepherd and Abba Father,…

VERSE: Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in threat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

UNEQUAL YOKING
2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1
Dear Father, worthy of my undivided loyalty, May I never be yoked to any person or organization that does not have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. For what partnership does righteousness have with iniquity? What fellowship has light with darkness? What agreement has your temple with the temple of idols?
I am your temple, the temple of the living God! For you have said, "I will live in them,…
