Ephesians 5:18-20

...be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ...


Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

I hope that you were able to spend at least a portion of today thanking the Lord for His goodness and mercy. Psalm 136:26 says, "Oh, give thanks to the God of heaven! For His mercy endures forever." Remember to thank the Lord for His mercy, today, for we are all in daily need of it!

God Bless You!

God gave you the gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say, "thank you?"

--FEATURED POEM:

Take nothing for granted,
for whatever you do
The "joy of enjoying"
is lessened for you--
For we rob our own lives
much more than we know
When we fail to respond
or in any way show
Our thanks for the blessings
that daily are our. . .
The warmth of the sun,
The fragrance of flowers,
The beauty of twilight,
the freshness of dawn,
The coolness of dew
on a green velvet lawn,
The kind little deeds so thoughtfully done
The favors of friends and the love that someone
Unselfishly gives us in a myriad of ways,
Expecting no payment and no words of praise...

--ANSWER TO TRIVIA QUESTION:

Q. What were the Israelites told to do once a day for six days and seven times on the seventh day?

A. March around Jericho.

And the LORD said to Joshua: "See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor. You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days. And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.

Joshua 6:2-4
