Got Word?

Happy Sunday!

I'm challenging my students in Children's Church.  If you have ever been my student, you will be familiar with the fun, and the fabulous prizes.  Today a few of my students recited the Books of the Bible in order, and one recited Psalm 91.  It was inspirational and the level of competition has been increased.

Psalm 91:14-16 says, “Because he clings to Me in love, I will rescue him from harm; I will set him above danger.  Because he has known Me by name, He will call on Me, and I will answer.  I’ll be with him through hard times;  I’ll rescue him and grant him honor.  I’ll reward him with many good years on this earth and let him witness My salvation.”(Voice).  What awesome promises are contained in the Word of God!  I'm working hard to encourage my students to love the Word, and understand that the Bible is not just a book.  

In John 6:63, Jesus said, "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the WORDS that I speak unto you, they are SPIRIT, and they are LIFE."(KJV).  

"Summing up: Be agreeable, be sympathetic, be loving, be compassionate, be humble. That goes for all of you, no exceptions. No retaliation. No sharp-tongued sarcasm. Instead, bless—that’s your job, to bless. You’ll be a blessing and also get a blessing.  Whoever wants to embrace life and see the day fill up with good, Here’s what you do: Say nothing evil or hurtful;
Snub evil and cultivate good; run after peace for all you’re worth.
God looks on all this with approval, listening and responding well to what he’s asked; But he turns his back on those who do evil things."(1 Peter 3:8-12, Message).

Love and prayers, Cynthia
