He was put to death in the body >but made alive by the Spirit. >--1 Peter 3:18 >New International Version > >THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE... >Having stood over the open graves of friends, family members, and >strangers, I know the appearance and feel of death's finality and >our human frailty. But Christ's death is that great reminder that >death is a matter of perspective and faith. I believe God raised >Jesus from the dead and that he is the first fruits of those of us >who believe in him. He is alive, not just in Spirit, but in bodily >form and so we will also be! > >MY PRAYER... >Almighty God, thank you for the gifts of your grace, Spirit, >forgiveness and life. Most of all, thanks for the gift of your Son, >who brought life and immortality to me through your salvation. While >I have no great desire to die, I know I can look through death to >you and your victory in me through Jesus. Please give me the courage >to live for you every day until that day you take me home. 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/iabdxfa_cgbenl.html>http://www.heartlight.org >----------- >The NIV Daily Verse is provided by ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/frdqvgd_cgbenl.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)
