Psalm 47 v 1 Good News Bible MONDAY: For the Lord is a great God and a great King above all gods. In His hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are His also. The sea is His, for he made it; for His hands formed the dry ground. Psalm 95 v 3 - 5 RSV TUESDAY:....... yet I will not forget you (says the Lord). Behold, I have indelibly imprinted (tattooed) a picture of you on the palm of each of my hands......... Isaiah 49 v 15 - 16 Amplified (portions) WEDNESDAY: And yet, O Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay and you are the Potter. We are all formed by your hand. Isaiah 64 v 8 RSV THURSDAY: A person's steps are confirmed by the Lord; He establishes him and delights in his way. When he falls he shall not be down and out; for the Lord upholds his hand. Psalm 27 v 23 -24 Modern Language FRIDAY: The desert will rejoice and flowers will bloom in the wilderness...........everyone will see the Lord's splendour, see his greatness and power. Give strength to hands that are tired and to knees that tremble with weakness. Tell everyone who is discouraged, 'be strong and don't be afraid!! God is coming to your rescue, coming to punish your enemies'. Isaiah 35 v 1 - 4 GNB SATURDAY: For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should say 'because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body', that would not make it any less part of the body..... So we, though many, are one body in Christ and individually members of one another...... although all the members do not have the same function. So, having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them for the good of all. 1 Corinthians 12 v 14, 15 and Romans 12 v 4, 5 RSV

A Hymn of Praise. I will proclaim your greatness,my God and king: I will thank you for ever and ever. Every day I will thank you; I will praise you for ever and ever The Lord is great and is to be highly praised; His greatness is beyond understanding. Psalm 145 v1-3 Gwyn

Now remember at what you were, my brothers, when God called you. From the human point of view, few of you were wise, all-powerful or of high social standing. God purposely chose what the world considers nonsense, in order to shame the wise, and he chose what the world considers weak in order to shame the powerful. He chose what the world looks down on and despises, and thinks is nothing, in order to destroy what the world thinks is important. This means that no one can boast in God's presence. 1 Corinthians 1 v 26 - 29 Good News Bible. Vonny

Love towards enemies. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you.

And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them unless someone sends them?
