Scripture for Today
“Do not presume that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill.”
— Matthew 5:17 (NASB)
I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book; if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away that person’s share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
— Revelation 22:18–19 (NRSV-CE)
Prayer Focus
Pray for those in the path of the hurricane which appears to have a path east of us. Be prepared to support clean-up efforts after the storm has passed on through. It’s an opportunity to help through both actions and prayers.
