Please pray for M, a lady in a nursing home, whose Bible was taken by someone. It had been her deceased husband’s Bible. I think they were married for 50 years or else he’d had the Bible for that long. Pray comfort for her, salvation for someone where it is currently hiding out, and that it would be returned to her. Thank you.
Praying for M. If she is anything like my dad, she disappeared it and it will show up. Thinking: razor, wallet, finger nail clippers, hearing aids, shoes…..
My good friend and former roommate became a grandmother (again) with the birth of Emma Jane (what a sweet name that is!) on Saturday.
She and the new parents are, of course, beyond thrilled. 🙂 .
Pray for the new parents, especially that they’d come to faith.
And a good piece this weekend from Challies (and a reminder to me that I need to spend (much) more time in this pursuit):
~ Nowhere does the Bible command a daily “quiet time.” Yet often does the Bible commend an earnest commitment to reading the Bible, meditating upon it, and diligently applying its truths. Often does it commend those who lived according to it.
David’s passion should be all of ours: “Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day” (Psalm 119:97). Josiah’s commitment should be that of every Christian— when he rediscovered the Bible after it had been lost, he “made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all his heart and all his soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book” (2 Kings 23:3).
To fail in our commitment to the Bible is to fail in our commitment to know and honor and obey God himself, for the Bible is his Word, his law, his truth. It is his lamp meant to guide our feet and his light meant to illume the way we must go (Psalm 119:105). Moody famously said, “The Bible will keep you from sin, or sin will keep you from the Bible.” Though sin may keep us from the Bible, we need to understand that the Bible will keep us from sin if only we commit ourselves to it. ~
