He is Risen!

Happy Resurrection Sunday from Heartlight and Verse of the Day!

Read 'Resurrection!'
Praise the Lord; praise God our savior! For each day he carries us in his arms. Our God is a God who saves! The Sovereign Lord rescues us from death. But God will smash the heads of his enemies, crushing the skulls of those who love their guilty ways.

Today's Prayer

Lord, I praise You as my Lord and Savior! Thank You for carrying me in Your arms each day and rescuing me from all my enemies. You are the God who cares for me and saves me from death. Death has no power over me now because I know I will rise from death, just as Jesus did long ago. Thank You for conquering this enemy for me. Please continue to carry me as I try each day to walk in Your ways and witness to others about Your greatness and love and power. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
