 Today's Thought:

 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.” For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. (John 6;44; Titus 3:3-7; 2Cor 4:6)

 Today's Thought:

Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness. The heavens are yours; the earth also is yours; the world and all that is in it, you have founded them. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; steadfast love and faithfulness go before you. The heavens are the LORD's heavens, but the earth he has given to the children of man. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn! But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. (Psa 45:6, 89:11, 14, 115:16; Rom 8:19; 2Pet 3:11-13)
