THE PRAYER LINK, TUESDAY

God has blessed us to see another day, but not necessarily to live through this day. Psalm 118 is a chapter is gratitude, thanking God.

“This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it”

-Psalm 118:24-

I try to do something each day to make each day count. Some days are more productive than other days. Unfortunately, some days, I have to wonder where the day went without seeing a lot of productivity. I always know God has blessed me and am thankful for his love and watchcare.

Additional Bible Reading – Encouraging One Another by Gathering Together

24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Hebrews 10:24-25

Some opportunities to gather together and encourage each other.

  • Bible Study Classes and Groups
  • Regular Church Attendance and Bible Study
  • Meetings such as Saturday morning in Montpelier (missions)
