To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly >with your God. >--Micah 6:8 >New International Version > >THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE... >God's desires for us are not hard to discern. He wants to bless us >with salvation. The incredible gift of his Son is powerful testimony >to this truth. But salvation from sin and death is not something he >wants to happen in our lives only once. He wants our lives to daily >reflect his salvation and to share it with others. We should act >justly and pursue mercy in our relationships, and honor him with our >worship from a humble heart. > >MY PRAYER... >Almighty and compassionate Father, as I embrace this New Year, help >my eyes see what your heart sees. Teach me to hate sin and be >merciful to the repentant. Teach me to know truth and act fairly, >while hating abuse and exploitation. Through your Spirit, stir me to >reflect on the great distance between your holy majesty and my >inconsistent character. Make me more your child, I pray, in Jesus name. Amen. > >----------- > >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written by Phil Ware of >HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/lfstowh_jawdcwdw.html>http://www.heartlight.org >----------- >The NIV Daily Verse is provided by ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/scylnos_jawdcwdw.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)
