Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Many things can trouble our lives, but none can shake us loose from the grip of God's grace as our hearts remain pointed at Jesus as our Lord and our hope remains focused on the Lord's return. If Jesus is our Lord, then all of life's greatest blessings lie ahead of us, and he will let nothing rob us of this coming glory! We have confidence as believers because each of us can say:
I have set the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
So, dear friend in Jesus, let's not just say it; let's passionately live it!

My Prayer...

Holy Lord, you are worthy of majesty, honor, and praise. I lift your name, O God, and place it above every name. As I look to the future, I want to honor you and journey with you, knowing you are with me. Since I believe you will never leave or forsake me,* I will always look ahead with anticipation, knowing that you are leading the way. Through Jesus, I anticipate and pray. Amen.
* Hebrews 13:5-6; Romans 8:37-39.
