Persevering in Faith

A prayer I came across this morning. I'm praying it for me and for you: INVOCATION O you who are the Source and Ground of all truth, guide me today. I ask you, in my hours of reading. Give me wisdom to abstain as well as to persevere. Let the Bible have proper place; and grant that as I read I may be alive to the stirrings of the Holy Spirit in my soul. Amen. ...devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching...Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them...Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers. (1 Tim. 4:13ff) Please join me today in counting/listing as many of God's gifts in your life as you can. Grace & peaceJeff
