Prayer
Lord Jesus, keep my heart close to You. Give me wisdom to obey, courage to trust, and love to serve. Amen.
Lord Jesus, thank You for meeting us in Your Word. Help us trust You, love one another, and live what You have shown us. Amen. Week Preview September opens with Ecclesiastes asking what lasts, while 2 Corinthians continues to show the grace, holiness, and strength found in Christ.
Lord Jesus, when I understand, keep me humble. When I do not understand, keep me faithful. Thank You that You live, You reign, and You hold me. Transform my heart so that my life reflects You
more each day. Amen. September Preview September begins in Ecclesiastes, where Scripture asks what gives life lasting meaning. The search will move through wisdom and the words of Paul, but the answer will keep drawing us beyond life 'under the sun' to the One who gives eternal life. Read, read some more, and keep reading until you see Jesus face-to-face. Soli Deo Gloria - For the Glory of God Alone.
