Good day dear friends.
Luciano (Luke) Marazzo was set to have a skin graft yesterday at either 1 or 3:15. The parents were very hopeful all would go well. I visited with them yesterday morning. Doug Carson was on his way to the VA hospital yesterday afternoon. Please hold these families in your prayers.DON'T FORGET OUR JAN PRAYER SERVICE OF HEALING TONIGHT AT 7 PM.
Here is our study guide for today:
Tuesday: Psalm 103:17 is a verse that speaks to us even today. Please find that passage and see what instruction it offers to us.
Here is that Psalm: "But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who fear him, and his righteousness to children's children."
God's love is like a neverending spring of water. Springs have always fascinated me. When I attended Southwestern University in Georgetown, TX, and in the years after when our annual conference was held there, I had to visit the park on the San Gabriel River. It was in the park that there were springs feeding the river. The little pebbles around the springs would dance nonstop as the water gushed out. In the same way, but more powerfully so, God's love come gushing onto us. Steadfast and everlasting. But it comes to "those who fear him." Always a catch? No. Always a blessing! God's love means more to those who respect God and are aware of God. And the added blessing is that to those who respect and love God receive a blessing of righteousness for their children.
It makes sense. In a home where God is real and loved by the parents, the children learn by example. Usually these are homes where God is so real that He's treated as a member of the household. He is praised, He is loved, He is spoken to and about, He is invited to all family functions, especially family crises. And the children of that household grow to have that relationship. In those homes where God is forced upon the children and the children have yet to see Him real in that family, grow to question and doubt God is real and available. The solution? Make God real for you and God will become real for your family.
PRAYER: Living God, fall afresh on me today and all days. Let me see to make you a part of my life in all things. I pray in Jesus' name, amen.
Have a great and blessed day in the Lord!
