> Heartlight Daily Devotional Saturday, September 24, 2005 > > >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. > >----------- > >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written by Phil Ware of >HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/dglcjlg_onvpax.html>http://www.heartlight.org >----------- >The NIV Daily Verse is provided by ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/oituott_onvpax.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)
