Here we are beginning a Wednesday morning this week. What plans do we have for today? What plans does God have for us today? I hope they match up!
Today’s Scripture Verses
“Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.”
Colossians 3:23-24
“And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’
Matthew 25:40
“Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.”
Isaiah 58:10
Prayer Focus
Today, let’s focus on others:
- Those who don’t know Jesus
- Those with a sickness or sickness in the family
- Those whose bodies are slowing down
- Those with new babies to care for
- Those who are traveling
- Those who have no friendships
- Those who need a job
- Those who are not doing their best on their jobs
- I also want to bring the name of Robbie Lynn Callihan to you today. Many of you will remember her from her early years in Kentwood. She has been sick for many years since then. Prayers for her are always appropriate and needed.
Read the Bible in 2026
- September 30
- Psalms 90-95
Obituaries
There are no new obituaries listed at this time today.
Baptist Press
Evangelist David Ring, known for personal testimony of overcoming obstacles, dies at 72
(I heard this amazing man of God speak in Amite many years ago. His life could make anyone reconsider what they were doing for Jesus! If you don’t read any other articles this week, please take time to read this one! His every action, every step, and every word is no longer limited by cerebral palsy! If you ever heard him speak, you would clearly remember him and hismessaage!)
There are several other articles I plan to read today. I hope you will read some too.
Sunday School Lesson
- October 4
- “Freedom”
- Romans 6:1-14
- I hope you have/will decide to begin studying this lesson today if you have not already done so.
Missions (Georgia Barnette Offering for Mission Work in Louisiana)
Louisiana is not merely where we live—it is our mission field. And though the journey may not always be easy, I can assure you from my own experience: there is no greater joy than seeing a soul come to Christ and no greater purpose than following His Great Commission.
Let us begin here. Let us begin now. Let us begin with Louisiana.
— Georgia Barnette
Enjoy some time outside in the cooler weather today. God is faithful to send it about this time every year. I know I am thankful!
