Does everybody know what time it is?! Thats right! Its random Bible verse time! My dad was courteous enough to make todays selection for us. In Matthew 24:40, Jesus said, Whatever you did for one of the least...you did for Me. I like this verse; it reminds us that we CAN live in victory, walk in faith, and get it right. When reading Matthew 24 I tend to focus more on the verses concerning those who ...did NOT do it for one of the least of these, and in so doing they ...did not do it for Me.

But our lives should be lived in love, holiness and authenticity, among other things. Let’s ALSO remember to be kind and generous, to treat others the way we’d like to be treated. Because “Whatever you did for one of the least...you did for Me. His love endures, - M
