Today’s Scripture: Luke 6:21 NIV: Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. What do you hunger for? Whether or not this verse in Luke is describing the sermon on the mount referred to in Matthew 5 or whether this was a different message that Jesus spoke to us, I know in my heart ...

Affirmation of God: The LORD is with me.
Today’s Scripture: Exodus 3:12 ESV: He said, "But I will be with you, and this shall be the sign for you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain."

Affirmation of God: I live for Christ.
Today’s Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:15 ESV: and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.
