Today’s message was written by Rev. Dr. Roger Kunkel, founder of Dial Hope.
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” The Bible is our greatest resource for inspiration and hope. Consider these pertinent verses:
“O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.” – Psalm 136:1
“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” – Psalm 118:24
“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end: they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” – Lamentations 3:22-23
“Surely the Lord is in this place – and I did not know it.” – Genesis 28:16
“I lift up my eyes to the hills – from where will my help come? My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth.” – Psalm 121
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” – Matthew 5:6
“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” – Matthew 6:21
“Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock and the door will be opened for you.” – Matthew 7:7
“Remember, I am with you always.” – Matthew 28:20
Let us pray: Awesome God, we thank you this day for the Bible which reveals your nature and teaches us how to live. As we ponder your Word, may we, as James suggested, be not readers or hearers only, but doers, as was Jesus the Christ, in whose name we pray. Amen.
