BIBLE MEDITATION:

Psalm 55:22 - "Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee."



DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

There was a man carrying a heavy load of grain down a country road. Another man 

in a horse-drawn wagon saw him and said, "Mister, do you need a ride?" So the 

man walking got in the wagon, but he kept the load of grain on his shoulder. The 

wagon driver said, "Man, put that down and relax!" But the man answered,…

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

After a splendid victory at sea, Lord Nelson confronted the French admiral who 

was surrendering. The admiral, dressed in all of his regalia, approached Nelson

I read an account of Michelangelo's painting of the Sistine Chapel. In the 

story, he was painting in a corner behind everyone's view, and someone said to 

him, "Forget that area, nobody can see it anyway." But Michelangelo replied, "I 

know it's there." What you are in secret is what you are --…

refraineth his lips is wise."



DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

Your tongue can get you into a lot of trouble. There is nothing that can do more

especially unto them who are of the household of faith."



DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

Do you remember the story of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:30-37? He was on a 

journey but stopped and helped a bruised and broken man. He didn't make excuses 

saying, "It's none of my business." It was a golden moment, and he took it. All 

around you…

His first six months have been even more active than FDRs or LBJs the

two standards for such assessments. Yet, there is little media

attention given to much of what he has done.

Of late, the media is focusing…
