Verse of the Day

Friday

Proverbs 3:5-6  Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and  he will make your paths straight.

When things are tough, I find it easy to call on God and lean on His mercy and grace. He's my ripcord Savior. But I must confess, when I'm reveling in His blessings and things are going well, I am so much like the Israelites and forget to acknowledge that all the blessings I have and all the opportunities I have received come because of His grace. In my joy and success, I need to learn to acknowledge Him!

PRAYER... Gracious Father, every good thing I have in my life has come because of You.  The family I have been blessed with, the protection I have received, the values that I hold, the successes I have enjoyed, the hope I have, the salvation I have received, and the future I anticipate are all mine because of Your grace and not my goodness. Thank You! Thank You! Through Jesus, I thank You more! Amen.
