-/\/\----------------------------------------------------------------- \ / TODAY'S VERSE from HEARTLIGHT -- http://www.heartlight.org/ --\/------------------------------------------------------------------ February 18, 2005 VERSE: Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. -- Galatians 6:9 http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Galatians+6:9 THOUGHT: Weariness is a part of life. Weariness is a part of ministry. Weariness is definitely something that overtakes us when we set our hearts on doing good for others. The wonderful blessing of God, however, is that he will renew us and sustain us and rekindle us. He does it through the encouraging word of a friend. He does it through his presence, the Holy Spirit in us. He does it through songs that lift our hearts. He does it through Scripture and prayer. So while our bodies and spirits may get weary, let's not let our hands fall idle. If we will serve with faithfulness, discipline, and integrity, God's grace will empower us to do what he has called us to do. PRAYER: Holy and righteous Father, as I face the challenges of life, I need your strength. Please empower me through your Spirit who lives within me. Give me the courage to continue when I am tired, discouraged, and confused. I trust that as I seek to honor you, you will bless me with the strength I need to continue as I live to bring honor to you. In Jesus' name I ask this. Amen. http://www.heartlight.org/cgi-shl/todaysverse.cgi?day=20050218 Today's Verse is also available in: PORTUGUESE - http://www.iluminalma.com.br/dph/4/0218.html SPANISH - http://www.laluzdelalma.com/vdh/4/0218.html /--- Church PowerPoint MegaSite ----------------------------\ 400+ free Religious PowerPoint backgrounds & graphics.
