In the midst of the storms in life, we can be sure that God hears our prayers. The Bible says that the prayers of the saints are a sweet smelling incense to him. I like that. "And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand." Revelation 8:4 (KJV) I'm trying to fit prayer into my daily routine - I spend countless hours in Bible study but I don't always put a lot into my prayer life. I'm going to change that.
Today I'm thankful that I can KNOW without a shadow of a doubt that I am saved.
"He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace." 2 Timothy 1:9 (NIV).
"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not." 1 John 3:1 (KJV).
"For everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord [invoking Him as Lord] will be saved." Romans 10:13 (AMP)
"And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?" John 11:26 (NKJV)
"Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live." John 11:25 (KJV)
I'm also immensely thankful for the Holy Scriptures. It's God's love letter to us.
