TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
Praise the LORD!
Praise the LORD, O my soul!
While I live I will praise the LORD;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
Do not put your trust in princes,
Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.
His spirit departs, he returns to his earth;
In that very day his plans perish.
Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,
Whose hope is in the LORD his God,
Who made heaven and earth,
The sea, and all that is in them;
Who keeps truth forever,
Who executes justice for the oppressed,
Who gives food to the hungry.
The LORD gives freedom to the prisoners.
The LORD opens the eyes of the blind;
The LORD raises those who are bowed down;
The LORD loves the righteous.
The LORD watches over the strangers;
He relieves the fatherless and widow;
But the way of the wicked He turns upside down.
The LORD shall reign forever—
Your God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise the LORD!
Psalm 146
Thought For The Day:
"Put you hope in God and know true blessing."
Put your hope in God, and not mere mortals. If we look at the life of Paul we see how excited he is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with people around the world. For Paul there is only one place to put hope and that is in God. Paul wants everyone to know that as well.
How exciting it is for our youth to be graduating and moving on in life to larger arenas, such as work trip, summer vacations, college, graduate school, and the work place. In all of these transitions, as well as all transitions in life, there is only one place for young and old alike to put our hope, and that is in God. Because of this hope young people, and old alike, should share our faith with others just like the apostle Paul did, and witness the love of Christ.
It is the message of hope from which we get blessing.
Selah people' and friends what do you hope for? What does it mean to put your hope in God during times of change? Find opportunities to grow in your faith this summer; and share your faith story with others, and encourage others to grow in their faith walks. Share the message of hope.
OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:
"My brothers and sisters please remember regardless of our your age we can continue to grow and place our Hope on in God. Man will always let you down and disappoint you. Be sure to share with others God's message of Hope and confirm it in your daily lives. We pray this special prayer today as a prayer for Hope. Amen"
In Christ Love and service,
Patrick
