My Favorite Author

“Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”   Hebrews 12:2

“For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.”   1 Corinthians 14:33 (KJV)

A friend listed some of her favorite writers, suddenly I thought, I read the Bible more than even Christian authors. Bibles make great Christmas gifts, too, even specifically for children.

“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”   2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NIV)

Florida School

Dear Lord, 

I’m so glad when I attended church on Sunday that the Pastor gave a memorial & song for the Florida students & teachers who were killed in last week’s attack.  We pray for the families & friends of those passed away to bring Comfort & Peace & holy remembrance of Your Compassion & Love, and fond memories of their loved ones.

May we hold our days as precious time to do Your will while we are on earth.  And help us to share our love & knowledge of You with everyone we know so they can have Your Peace (John 14:27).
