BIBLE MEDITATION:

Hebrews 7:25 - "Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that

come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them."



DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

Do you ever feel you are all alone when a struggle hits your life? Tell

yourself, "I am graced by His prayers." Jesus is watching over you, and He is

praying for you. The Savior. The Shepherd. The King. The Prince. He is praying

for you! Do you feel encouraged? I do!… Continue

BIBLE MEDITATION:

Psalm 71:5 - "For Thou art my hope, O Lord God: Thou art my trust from my

youth."



DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

are healed."



DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

The thing I love about the Old Testament is the thing I love about the New

Testament. The Old Testament and the New Testament both are the inspired Word of

God. Don't get the idea that the Old Testament has a message different from the

New… Continue

BIBLE MEDITATION:

Matthew 6:6 - "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou

hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which

seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."



DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

What did our Lord mean when He said, "Enter into your closet to pray?" The word

"closet" simply means some place where you can shut the door on the world and

open the windows to heaven. As you study the life of… Continue
