My Prayer for You

The Apostle Paul, who has on his resume that he wrote about 2/3 of the New Testament, prayed for others -- as it shows us in the book of Ephesians. His prayer is my prayer for you today, and every day:

"I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the wonderful future he has promised to those he called."
(Ephesians 1:18)

Whom Have I In Heaven But You?

For me it is good to be near God, indeed. I can no longer see any other real possibility. What about you? Read below, then contemplate that question.

Psalm 73:25-28 --
"Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
For behold, those who are far from you shall perish;
you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you.
But for me it is good to be near God;
I have made the Lord God my refuge,
that I may tell of all your works."

Thank You, Lord, for your wisdom, for your overflowing love, and most of all for your abundant grace. Thank you, Father, for Jesus. Amen.
