Daily Verse

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:1-2

Endurance-we need it to survive as people and as Christians. God is good all the time, and all the time God is good.

P.S. - a prayer request: I have a friend, her name is Alyssa, who doesn't yet know the Lord, and I have been given a repeated amount of time in one of my classes to witness to her. I have, actually, and she seems interested and attentive. Please pray that God will give me the words to speak to her to help her understand and that she will be receptive and want to know God. Please pray for her salvation. Thanks a bunch.

The Tree

"But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit." Jeremiah 17:7,8

Do not be Anxious

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6,7

You have no idea how much I needed that verse today. It was actually a part of my daily Bible reading. I had heard the verses before, and had actually memorized verse 6, but I don't remember verse 7 very much, and I needed to hear it. You see, I have a six-week long project that was assigned five weeks ago and I just now realized that I haven't really done anything for it. So I'm stressed. Actually, right before starting to work on the project today I felt nudged to do my daily Bible reading, so I did. And I read these verses. God is good all the time, and all the time God is good.
