Take this day to catch up on your reading, pray, and rest in the presence of the Lord.
Never let loyalty and faithfulness leave you.
Tie them around your neck;
write them on the tablet of your heart.
Then you will find favor and high regard
with God and people.
—Proverbs 3:3–4
HOPE so well said. It is so sad how lost the world is.
I’m struggling a bit today. Tanner passed at 9:52 last Saturday. We are having a small celebration of life here in Colorado this afternoon. Please pray that I can make it through and find peace through loved ones that will be there. Friday the 3rd we will be having a large gathering in Illinois. I’m also so scared of Covid. I’m vaccinated, but do not want to get it. Please pray for protection. Thank you
Oh @Churchmouse, I completely agree! “TRUTH” has become subjective, with each individual defining their own truth tailored just so to fit their own desires. What a twisted philosophy that creates a self serving and twisted generation. I’ll admit, it’s an easy trap to fall into myself. I’m learning to test my thoughts and decisions in the Spirit. Am I truly looking at this through a God filter. Honestly? A lot of the time the answer is no. So, I have to cling to verses like today’s verse and verses like John 8: 31-32 and John 14:6.
It is a journey, learning to let go of my truths and embrace the real truth in Jesus.
“Never let loyalty and faithfulness leave you…” What a great reminder today, as we sometimes let all the business and distractions of the world interfere with our loyalty and faithfulness to God, to His church and to our brothers and sisters in Christ. He is faithful even when I am not – praise His name! His mercy endures forever!
Have a blessed Saturday!
Thankful for this community and these grace days.
I love this passage and I love your application to our time, CHURCHMOUSE!!! Saying again how glad I am that you are back. Prayers for you as you make the decision of whether or not to do live church. If you do, prepare yourself for the most indescribable feeling of joy! Our first time back was like revival in my heart even though we were faithful with online worship before.
KELLY, I agree with you, too. Iron can’t sharpen iron without direct contact. Very astute observation!
Prayers for all needs, especially TRACI and those traveling.
Amen!
So grateful to live in His grace. And am reminded today that I too should extend Grace to others.
@Traci Gender, especially happy that you posted that you are at peace and that you are letting others do most of the planning of Tanner’s celebration service so you are not overwhelmed. Praise God! We will be with you, lots of hugs from us all!
