O Lord, thank you for ALL you many blessings, but instill in us a desire to grow in your Word, to put away childing things, and to concentrate on what is truly important. Bless us Lord, grant us the wisdom and conviction to do what is right, to reach those who are unsaved. Bless each of us and our families, shield us from the evils of this world, grant mercy to us who do not deserve it. Give guidance to our leaders, to the voters that we might elect spiritual leaders who will guide this land in a Godly manner. In the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen.
I was reading this in my daily devotion and thought is was worth repeating.
Jesus Answers a Rich Man
AS JESUS STARTED TO LEAVE, A MAN RAN TO HIM AND FELL ON HIS KNEES BEFORE JESUS. THAT MAN SKED, "GOOD TEACHER, WHAT MUST I FO TO HAVE LIFE FOREVER?"
JESUS ANSWERD, "WHY DO YOU CALL ME GOOD? ONLY GOD IS GOOD. YOU KNOW THE COMMANDS: "YOU MUST NOT MURDER ANYONE. YOU MUST NOT BE GUILTY OF ADULTRY, YOU MUST NOT STEAL. YOU MUST NOT TELL LIES ABOUT YOUR NEIGHBOR. YOU MUST NOT CHEAR. HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER."
THE MAN SAID, "TEACHER, I HAVE OBEYED ALL THESE THINGS SINCE AI WAS A BOY."
JESUE, LOOKING AT THE MAN, LOVED HIM AND SAID, "THERE IS ONE MORE THING YOU NEED TO DO. GO AND SELL EVERYTHING YOU HAVE, AND GIVE THE MONEY TO THE POOR, AND YOU WILL HAVE TREASURE IN HEAVEN. THEN COME AND FOLLOW ME"
