Words of
Wisdom

Do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.

--Hebrews 10:35-36
New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
Boy there are some tough times in life! They're inescapable.
That's when our confidence in the Lord's salvation and our
relationship with him get tested! It is one thing to sing "it
is well with my soul" at the end of a peel-the-paint worship
service, but it is quite another to be able to sing it when
they auction your house off at the courthouse steps or you've
lost a child to death. That's when the commitment to be who we
want to be overrides the weakness of what we feel. Faith can't
take a holiday when we travel through the suburbs of hell or
we'll never find our way out. So don't throw it away. Be like
Job or Jeremiah who both argued and complained to God. Just
don't quit.

MY PRAYER...
Holy and Almighty God, today is a good day. But I am
profoundly aware that some of those I love are wrestling with
throwing away their confidence in your love, mercy, grace,
peace, and deliverance. Please use me, but even more I pray
that you use your Holy Spirit to renew their hearts. I pray
that you intervene directly to change the course of events and
give them relief. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
