Good day dear friends.
I ask for your prayers for my wife, Nellie. She undergoes a needle biopsy tomorrow to confirm what doctors believe is a benign cyst. This has been unsettling to her and to me, and your prayers would be most welcome! Please also pray that we and others who suffer from this head cold junk going around might be finally healed!
TODAY IS NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER. THE CHURCH WILL BE OPEN FOR PRAYER STARTING AT 8:30 AM AND OPEN UNTIL 5 PM. PLEASE REMEMBER TO LIFT UP YOUR PRAYERS FOR OUR NATION AND ALL NATIONS.
Here is our study guide for today:
Thursday: Deuteronomy 15, 16, 17What significance, if any, do you find in the way a discussion of the holy days is intersperesed with various social and ceremonial laws?
The significance even for today is that no special day or holiday can be celebrated without thinking about God's involvement in what that day represents to the Christian. As many holidays as we have, we also have faith that God was present in it. As we approach the 4th of July, we cannot celebrate being the greatest nation in the world without thanking God for His blessings upon us on all that we have received. It's also true that we're not perfect and we don't always do "the right" (to quote from today's readings) to others, but we need to seek God's forgiveness and God's guidance to do and be the right. President's day is also a day to thank God for our form of government and for the way our nation continues to provide for those in need. Again, we're not perfect, but we need God involved in our lives.
What are the special days in your life? Do you remember to invite God in the planning of special celebrations of your life, say your birthday? Do you thank God for your life? Do you seek to grow in the Lord on that and all days? As you and your spouse celebrate another year of marriage, is God there?
PRAYER: God of all days, remind me of Your presence in the special days. Let me seek You all of my days, to be thankful, to return thanks, to help others, and to seek your guidance and blessings to be a better person. I pray in Jesus' name, amen.
Have a great and blessed day in the Lord!
