Matthew 10:27-33 [Jesus said] What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops. Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, fear the one who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. “Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without the knowledge and consent of your…

Malachi 3:6 “Certainly I, the Lord, do not change.” Dear Heavenly Father, In your plea to Jacob’s descendants, you reminded them that you do not change. They had chased after false gods and done things that were against Your will. Yet, You desired to bless them and wanted them to turn away from everything that pulled them away from You.

John 8:12 When Jesus spoke to them again, he said, “I am the Light of the World. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” Dear Heavenly Father, Rarely are we without any light; even at night, we have ambient light from the stars and moon. Then, in our homes, we have those little lights to indicate something is running. But when all the light is gone, and there is no ambient light,…
