Corban got upset at Harmony & told Her "I'm gonna pray God punishes you!" Harmony keenly replied, "I'll hide in the closet." Corban then shouted "You can't hide from God!" This sounds like MANY Christians who get upset at their brother or sister in the Lord. We pray for them, but we pray for God's judgement. Don't forgett hat God has seen what you did too. Corban was right, YOU can't hide from God. Pray in love.

When you lean on something or Someone, you are putting complete confidence in that object or Person. If either move you WILL fall. Here is confidence: God is the same yesterday, today, and forever...He will never move & He WILL hold you... Lean Today.

Amazing Grace How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me! John Newton saw himself as a despicable person, a wretch. He realized that there was nothing good in him. The story today is a bit different. We don't want to see ourselves as "worm, wretch, etc." instead we say, "Thank God He saved me, but I was not THAT bad!" REALLY? If you are a sinner you (& I) are no more than a lowly wretch, NOT DESERVING Christ.

He also gave us a "love letter" called the Bible and every day He has something special planned for us.

This is a difficult thing for Christians at times. We often cause devision and the lost wonder what the difference is between them and us. Let me encourage all of us to love each other more and SHOW the world the difference.

We see someone in need we pour a little water on the flame and say "Well, I've done my part!" Instead we should grab the water hose & REALLY help.

Matthew 6:11 - "Give us this day our daily bread." - This verse is used to point out that we are to relly on God for our daily physical bread. I submit to you today that it is more than that. Jesus is the bread of life & the Word. We must "break bread" daily in order to partake. What do I mean? I mean we should have our daily devotions. I wonder how much food we would eat if we ate as much as we read God's Word.
