PROMISE. Day 11 of Lent. Yes and Amen!
For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ
with a resounding “Yes!”
And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”);
ascends to God for his glory.
2 Corinthians 1:20
What IT IS WRITTEN can you claim today as your promise?
ENCOURAGEMENT
God didn’t set us up for an angry rejection but for salvation by our Master, Jesus Christ. He died for us, a death that triggered life. Whether we’re awake with the living or asleep with the dead, we’re alive with him! So speak encouraging words to one another. Build up hope so you’ll all be together in this, no one left out, no one left behind. I know you’re already doing this; just keep on doing it.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 (MSG)
