“My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, and he gave us commandment. And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in hi. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.” 1 John 3 v18-24 AKJV
by faith…
“Wherefore? Because they sought not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.” Romans 9 v31-33
“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that beleiveth.” Romans 10 v1-4
“At that time Jesus answered and said,
I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.” Mathew 11 v25,26
Lord this day is your day. I stand as I am before you, and I thank you for your mercies and your grace. My stand alone is weak but in you it is made strong, not by my doings but by yours. My failures shine out at times to me in my own heart, and I ask of you to strengthen my faith as I put my trust in you this day-and I know that you will, it has been done every day before now as I live by you. Hear the prayers for my family today, your hand be with them. Amen
