Jakes Ministries Together, your head and your heart work harmoniously to produce your Instincts. This mutual relationship allows us to fulfill our true potential. When was the last time you aligned your choices w your instinct and passion? How did u learn to allow your instinct to influence your direction? KSBJ Dr. Kings encouraging words are such a powerful reminder of Hebrews 11:1: Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Paula White Dont force what no longer fits in your life! Dale Hamilton My Father, my Rock, provide for each of us a wall of protection as we go out into the world today. May we stand strong, with Your tower of strength, when opposition comes against us. Let us live according to Your will, always knowing that You have got our back. Our Daily Bread Because of the severity of Paul’s words in battling false teachings and correcting sinful conduct, he often comes across as devoid of tenderness, gentleness, or compassion (1 Cor. 16:22; Gal. 1:8-9; Phil. 3:2; 2 Tim. 4:14-15; Titus 3:10). But there is a gentle and tender side of Paul that is equally evident in his letters (1 Cor. 2:3; 2 Cor. 10:1; Gal. 6:1; 2 Tim. 2:24-25). In 1 Thessalonians 2:7-8, Paul shows parental qualities such as gentleness and love. In verses 11-12, he encourages and comforts his spiritual children, urging them to live holy lives. “A Prayer To A Great Savior” by Stephen C. Weber Father, the words written in 1707 by Isaac Watts come to mind especially as we focus on the cross, Alas! and did my Savior bleed and did my Sov’reign die? Would He devote that sacred head for such a worm as I? Watts wasnt a wretched slave trader, murderer or a swindler. He grew up in church as a preachers son, yet he was well aware of his worthless worm-like state in contrast to Christ, the mighty Maker who died, for man the creature’s sin. Drops of grief can never repay the debt of love we owe for our complete forgiveness, abundant life and eternal inheritance provided for us through the blood sacrifice of Christ Jesus our Saviour. But we can respond by saying, Here, Lord, I give myself away, tis all that I can do. And, amazingly, You joyfully accept our humble response and equip us with all we need to navigate our journey here below that leads us onward to our eternal home. We thank You for Jesus in whose name we pray. Amen. Prayer includes adaptation of the hymn, At the Cross by Isaac Watts
