Mark 6:27
The Herods are not known for their mercy. This act, however heinous, was not out of keeping with what the Tetrarch’s family was known for.
1 Kings 8:1-9:28
James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
Heavenly Father, a desire for your presence is a value to our soul. You are cool waters in the desert. To many you may seem far away, but often you are so close to those who need you most. Indeed, it is not your presence that is the problem, but our perception. To see you is a great blessing. When we realize that you are near, it changes our entire outlook. Thank you for your presence in our lives! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
