Mark 6:50
Make sure you don’t miss the attitude of Christ. His words here may seem to be just passing talk. But, in reality they reflect the overall tone of the Christ. We are told by him not to fear. We are told by the apostles not to fear. We are told by good ministers today not to fear. Fear is not to be a condition of the Christian. Beyond this, the good cheer he speaks of is also not an empty encouragement. It is to be a burning reality in our hearts. Though trials will come, we are to be of good cheer. Like Christ himself, we are to go through the dark valleys and come out with a smile on the other side.
1 Chronicles 24:1-26:32
James 2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
Heavenly Father, thank you for the joys of family and friends. It is so great to be able to share kinship in Christ with those who are also my family by birth. Your plan is so good! You know the best blessings. If I were to try to plan my life without you, I would miss out on so much. Thank you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
