Today's Verse, - Psalm 127:1,
Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain.
Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain. - Psalm 127:1
THOUGHT:
"It's all up to you!" That's the prevailing mindset for high
achievers in our world. But it is wrong. Our efforts to build and
be a part of something great are ultimately in vain if the Lord
doesn't Bless them. They may flourish for a… Continue

VERSE:
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these
things will be given to you as well. - Matthew 6:33
THOUGHT:
Seek! That is the focus word in this verse. This word is a
robust word, describing a passionate pursuit of something to make
it our own. The Kingdom, and the righteousness of those in this
Kingdom, are not our wish, our hope, our dream -- they are to be
our passion. We will pursue… Continue

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal

Our sin earns us death. God's grace gives us life. The
difference between these two extremes? The Cross of Christ which
spans the chasm of our sin and brings us to the mercy, forgiveness,
and redemption of God!
