Lord, this life is a marathon! Help us to run the race with endurance. Let us not lose site, of the hope we have, and the crown of life we will receive. Not because of what we have done, but what Jesus has done on the cross, and resurrection, and through his Holy Spirit, working in us. Thank you, Lord.

Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
James 1:12 NASB

Lord, may we live our lives today, in light of the fact, that we will live in your house forever, for all of eternity, to those who Love you.

One thing I have asked from the Lord , that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord And to meditate in His temple.
Psalms 27:4 NASB

Thank you Lord, that we are wonderfully known by you.  May we use this for good, to allow us to be changed by you.  May we not withdraw from you, as we see our own sinfulness, but embrace your truth, that we are whole, by putting our faith and trust in Jesus. Amen!


Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts; And see if there be any hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way.
Psalms 139:23‭-‬24 NASB

Want life?  Thirst for the Living God, who gives life now, and for all of eternity.  If you seek him with all your heart, you will find him.


My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God?
Psalms 42:2 NASB
