Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Can you think of any more blessed promise for those who seek to be righteous and long to honor God and his character? We will see God face-to-face!
What a blessing! What a future! What an incredible Father!
So let's seek our Abba Father, the Lord God, with all heart, soul, mind, and strength until we get to see him as he is, face-to-face with God in all his glory (1 John 3:1-3). Why? Because we love our God who is righteous and are thankful he loves justice.

My Prayer...

Dear Father, Almighty King of the ages, thank you for your great and precious promises. Thank you for your righteousness. Thank you for your love of justice. Thank you for your mercy and grace. I genuinely look forward to the day I get to see you face-to-face with Jesus, in all your glory, sharing in your eternal presence forever! In Jesus' name, I praise and thank you. Amen.

The story of Noah fascinates children, but the message of Noah also reminds us of the Creator's heart being broken by humanity's penchant for violence. James Nored and Phil Ware remind us that violence is not God's plan, but humanity's corrupt and wicked propensity to injure and mar those created in the image of God.
