Get up!

Rudy and I have been doing a daily devotional together (EARLY) in the morning~

 I gave him the book for his birthday week (from Costco)~ it's called The 100 Most Important Bible Verses~ it's small, linen covered, red, hardback. 

 If you'd like to join us go buy one and get up first thing in the morning with your spouse, your children, your dog or your coffee~and start your day as Rudy insists, filled up w/ God's word! 

 We're on page 42 today~ LOVE THIS VERSE:

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.  Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea... Be still, and know that I am God."  Psalm 46:1-2, 10 NKJV

 

Father God, I thank you for today's word~ I thank you for our friends and family who rely on your word to get them through today~ whatever they are facing, let them take a moment to be still and know that you are God. Turn their thoughts and hearts and minds away from anything that isn't of YOU and renew in them a peace~ that peace which surpasses all understanding.  I thank you Father for having the choice to rely on you, by my side in every situation~ forgive me when I choose death~ help me Lord to be still and remember that YOU are with me, with my friends and with my family, with Nick and Terry and Russ and Ashley today at Stanford~ with Bobby and Dakota as they travel to NYC~ with Terry Schuff and Pastor Troy and all the men heading to NY~ have mercy upon them all~ In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, AMEN.
