God Gives Eternal Hope

Truth:  Sometimes, our emotions can be wounded more easily and even quicker than our bodies.  But we can reduce the damaging power of negative and hurtful words by turn the attention of our minds and hearts to the wisdom and truth of God’s word. God has designed His word to be our greatest protection from pain.

Here is what Bill Dickson, Associate Rector of St. John the Divine Episcopal Church says about  the power of God’s word: “Although we’ve had many bible studies looking at many books very closely, we’ve never before had a study that works through the whole Bible. So, we have folks who know Hebrews well, or the letter to the Romans, or maybe Ezekiel. So, this was our first offering where we read through the whole Bible. It was just dynamic for the church.”

Scripture:  Our Scripture reading today is Psalms 135 – Proverbs 6 and the key verse is: “Above all else guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.” Proverbs 4:23

Prayer:  Eternal God,  I thank You today for the power and truth of Your word.  It is my source of strength, my daily guide and the revealer of truth.  Thank You.  Help me today to guard my heart with Your truth so that my heart will be life-giving and a blessing to those around me.  In Jesus’ name, Amen.
