Heartlight Daily Devotional Sunday, September 4, 2005 >What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with >faith and love in Christ Jesus. Guard the good deposit that was >entrusted to you -- guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us. >--2 Timothy 1:13-14 >New International Version > >THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE... >We live in a world of keys, locks, alarms, and security systems. >Paul's words here, shouldn't come as a surprise to us. The things >that are most valuable to us we protect. What is more precious to us >than the truth of God's saving grace in the Gospel. Thankfully, God >has pre-wired all of us with a security system to help protect that >incredibly precious hope. This security system lives in us. It is >the Holy Spirit. > >MY PRAYER... >Help me, O God, to not compromise your truth to legalism or license. >I want to live, and show others how to live, a holy life. I want to >share with them your grace and mercy. But most of all Father, I want >them to join with me in welcoming Jesus when he returns. Please >empower me by your Spirit to see through falsehood and error and >protect and live your truth. Through Jesus I pray. Amen. > >----------- > >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written by Phil Ware of >HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/lztkfht_zmvafn.html>http://www.heartlight.org >----------- >The NIV Daily Verse is provided by ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/ubmjfpb_zmvafn.html>http://www.zondervan.com > >If you enjoyed this newsletter, forward it on to a friend. > >* Copyright 2005 Salem Web Network and its Content Providers. >All rights reserved. > > > ~~~~ Alan & Ruth Anne Wheeler <da2ofus@...> Proud owners of the following lists: Ladies Fellowship, LF Newsletter, Bread of Life, Christian Drummer and swgCares at: <www.associate.com>
