"Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?"
Luke 12:25-26
"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus."
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Washington is telling us that there is a "credible threat" for an attack on our capital today, March 4th. I have a feeling that there might be a false flag event, however I am encouraged by today's devo because regardless of how the news attempts to keep us in a perpetual state of fear and worry, let's choose not to participate, friends! Instead, let's continue to pray for our country and for unity.
Until next time...
Blessings!

"As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all."
Ephesians 4:1-6
If the world behaved as we are called to do in Ephesians 4, the world would be a much better place! I love today's devo, Friends.
Until next time...
Blessings!

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die..."
John 11:25
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Matthew 11:28-29
"Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
1 Peter 1:8-9 (KJV)
Today's devo reminds me of a poem I taught my HS students, "Thanatopsis" by William Cullen Bryant. Basically the poem is about how we all share the same fate: death, so we might as well eat, drink and be merry. The lyrical poem also glorifies natural death and makes it sound noble because we contribute to the continuation of nature. I respectfully disagree because we have eternal life, which is even MORE noble: We are heirs to a heavenly inheritance!
Please share your prayer requests with us today, Friends!
Until next time...
Blessings!

Happy March, Friends! Spring is right around the corner, and I am so grateful for that! I'm also grateful for today's devo, reminding us that through Christ's peace, we are rich indeed.
I hope you go into your day in peace, and that He will keep you in perfect peace all month long!
Blessings!
