> > HEARTLIGHT DAILY VERSE > (formerly Today's Verse) > by Phil Ware > >December 5, 2004 > >[Zechariah said,] "Praise be to the Lord, God of Israel, >because he has come and has redeemed his people. He has raised >up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant >David, as he said through his holy prophets long ago." > > --Luke 1:68-70 > New International Version > >THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE... > What God does in Jesus is not a surprise. Yes, it was >unexpected, but the "hints" and prophecies of his coming are >found all over the Old Testament. The holy prophets had spoken >about it "long ago." But more than the prophets, Jesus coming >is God keeping his word. Jesus' coming is God's answer to his >promises. That's why Paul can say that all God's promises find >their "yes" in Jesus and it is through Jesus that the "amen" is >spoken (2 Cor. 1). In Jesus, God comes, God ministers, God >cares, God saves, God redeems, and God keeps his promises. > > >MY PRAYER... > I thank you, Holy Father, that you keep your promises. I >know I don't have to wonrder if you will keep your word to me; >because of your love, character, and kindness, I know you will. > So please help me be more faithful to you as I seek to honor >my commitments and pledges to you. I know this is important to >you not only because I need to learn obedience, but I also need >to develop a character more consistent with your own. Thank >you for hearing my heart. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. > >----------- > >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written >by Phil Ware of HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: >http://link.crosswalk.com/UM/T.asp?A1.21.28943.1.1286813 >----------- >HEARTLIGHT is a non-profit organization and needs >your help!
