He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains. >--Joel 2:23 >New International Version > >THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE... >"The prayers go up and the blessings come down..." The words to this >children's song are only half right, because God sends his blessings >many times even when we don't pray. But with the special smell that >comes with a drought-breaking rain, God loves the aroma of his >children's joy, especially when he is the source of its delight! > >MY PRAYER... >Holy God and Tender Father, you are my great delight. When all >others fail, you are still God. You are a rock and fortress, you are >a tender shepherd, and you are a solid mountain that cannot be >shaken. Your blessings and grace shower upon me and fill me with >joy. I can't wait for the day I get to see you face to face and >delight in your presence. Until then, I will see you faith to face >and rejoice in anticipation. 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/tvhxxkv_umqwjg.html>http://www.heartlight.org >----------- >The NIV Daily Verse is provided by ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/couiinu_umqwjg.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> The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing. ~ Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV)
