For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have >prepared in the sight of all people, a light for revelation to the >Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel." >--Luke 2:28-32 >New International Version > >THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE... >God's gift to Simeon was truly precious and touching. He is the >embodiment of every nation, race, and culture that is seeking God's >salvation. God's salvation, as Luke loves to remind us again and >again, is for all people! > >MY PRAYER... >Lord God of all nations, not only do I pray for peace on earth, but >I pray that the knowledge of Jesus may be spread to every nation >this coming year. Please make me sensitive to those around me who >need your grace and give me courage and the right words to say. >Please stir me to be generous to those who are spreading your Gospel >throughout the world. Please bind the work of Satan that keeps >nations in darkness and away from grace. Make your Kingdom triumph >through the growth of your word throughout the world. 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/xkwrbrc_xebrzi.html>http://www.heartlight.org >----------- >The NIV Daily Verse is provided by ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/dlwqzql_xebrzi.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)
