Today

“And working together with Him, we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain – for He says, ‘At the acceptable time I listened to you, and on the day of Salvation I helped you; behold, now is ‘the acceptable time,’; behold, now is ‘the day of salvation’ –giving no cause for offense in anything in order that the ministry be not discredited, but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distressed, in beatings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in sleeplessness, in hunger, in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in genuine love, in the Word of Truth, in the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness, for the right hand and the left, by glory and dishonour, by evil report and good report; regarded as deceivers and yet true; as unknown yet well-known, as dying yet behold, we live; as punishment yet not put to death, as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing yet possessing all things.” II Corinthians 6:1-10

I love this passage when I need to think that this is the day the Lord has made for me and I am able to rejoice and be glad in it. Here is a new mini-series and I hope you can find many topics in this one passage. I know it has blessed me as a memory passage for many years.

Know His Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene

PS: Ongoing prayer requests: For God’s hands on the new USA political administration. Healing of Barb and Gary, who lost their jobs; wisdom for doctors caring for: Doris, David, Adrian, Randy and Michael. For new work projects for me. Praise: Lyle’s brother (healing well) and for his girlfriend (who has stayed with him throughout the entire ordeal).
