"Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins."
1 Peter 4:8






"Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first."
Revelation 2:4



I have been pondering 1 Peter 4:8 a lot lately.  The world would be a better place if Christians practiced this directive consistently.   :D

Prayer requests?  Please pray for our Westies Mustang Sally and Finlay.  Both had dental work and are having a difficult time.  


Until next time...

Blessings!

Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me."
Matthew 28:18


"Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name."
Psalm 100:4


Today I am thankful for Christ's authority over everything, including my life.  I'm also thankful for the living Holy Spirit, whom Christ sent to help me.

Prayer requests?


Until next time...

Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear.  For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.  Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!  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?

“Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.  If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!  And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it.  For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them.  But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.

Luke 12:22-31





It's Monday, Friends, and today's devo is perfect for the week's start.  If worry is a form of unbelief, then let's not do it!  If we truly allow Christ to be the boss of our lives and "seek His kingdom," then there really is no reason to worry.  

Isn't today's lesson wonderful!  :D

I hope y'all have a super start to your week.  Prayer requests?  Just a reminder: Please continue to pray for Carla's son, Sam, and Sarah's son, Matthew.


Until next time...

Blessings!

"The heavens declare the glory of God;
    the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
    night after night they reveal knowledge."
Psalm 19:1-2


"See, darkness covers the earth
    and thick darkness is over the peoples,
but the Lord rises upon you
    and his glory appears over you."
Isaiah 60:2


From today's devo:

The earth still declares My Glory to those who have eyes that see and ears to hear.


I hope you have a Blessed Sunday, Friends!  


Until next time...
