Good Morning! 

 

Today's Scriptures:

 

Five verses from I Peter for encouragement -- very interesting that it worked out that all of the verses I found were verses 8 and 9.

 

Be self controlled and alert.  Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.  Resist him, standing firm in the faith; because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

 

1 Peter 5:8-9

 

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins.  Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.

 

1 Peter 4:8-9

 

Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.  Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.

 

1 Peter 3:8-9

 

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of hm who called you out of darkness into this wonderful light.

 

1 Peter 2:9

 

Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

 

1 Peter 1:8-9

 

Today's prayer request:   Natalee Holloway's family

 

Yesterday's announcement, seems to me, a sign that her mother and father are never going to move on with their lives until they find out something more about Natalee's disappearance.  And since I'm pessimistic that anything else is ever going to be known, it makes me sad to think of how profoundly sad they are going to be for a long, long time.  My prayer is that they find out as soon as possible what happened to Natalee, so that they can complete their mourning and move on with life. 

 

Today's class member prayer:

Have a great day.
