Funny how some days a Bible verse will be striking even when you've read it a hundred times before.

Today it was this:

(Matt 28:20) "...surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age"

Woohoo! Isn't that wonderful!! :)

((((MLM)))) I know this was a hard day for all of you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

[prescilaschina]

surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age

the trouble is, - my names not surely.

Someone I once knew, (Davis Lo), was very proud of the fact that Jesus specifically mentioned him in the Bible when he said, "Lo, I will be with you always". Ralphie

I am asking for posters to remember CTSer, Duderoneous in their prayers. She has had a rough year, and today she had to have what she described as "icky" tests. She is home again. She won't know the results for some time, she has to have more the end of January. She is brave and says that she doesn't worry about the test results, she knows they are beyond her control. She also write that God always takes care of her. Thank you.

This moved me today and so I would like to share it with you:

Psalm 34

I will extol the Lord at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.
My soul will boast in the Lord;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
Glorify the Lord with me;
let us exalt his name together.

I sought the Lord and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.
Those who look to him are radiant;
their faces are never covered with shame.
This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.
The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him,
and he delivers them.

Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
Fear the Lord, you his saints,
for those who fear him lack nothing.
The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

Come, my children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of teh Lord.
Whoever of you loves life
and desires to see many good days,
keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from speaking lies.
Turn from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it.

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
and his ears are attentive to their cry;
the face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
to cut off the memory of them from the earth.

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them;
he dilivers them from all their troubles.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

A righteous man may have many troubles,
but the Lord delivers him from them all;
he protects all his bones,
not one of them will be broken.

Evil will slay the wicked;
the fores of the righteous will be condemned.
The Lord redeems his servants;
no one will be condemned who takes refuge in him.
