Affirmation Is The Order Of The Day

Thank you, LORD, for the new link on this blog that connects to ifish.net. I am grateful, Father, that Jennie does not mind my posting it here. I pray that you will use this blog, LORD, so that more may share her inspiring messages.

Thank you also, Father, for the confirmation of Alberto Gonzales as Attorney General. I pray you build on this good first step towards a positive direction, LORD. Cause the confirmation of the President's nominees who will be useful to you in steering the course of the USA towards God-liness and moral uprightness.

Thank you most of all for your message to me today as I read my daily devotional. If I may share your Word here today, Father, you give me cause to believe that, truly, affirmation is your special word of the day.

Here, the Apostle John testifies to the truth and reality of God making a personal appearance through Jesus Christ and hobnobbing with him and his fellow apostles and thousands of others of his day:

1 John 1:1-7

The Word of Life

1That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched–this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. 2The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. 3We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. 4We write this to make our joy complete.

Walking in the light

5This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. 7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

I pray, Father, that you cause your Word to penetrate the heart of whomever you would lead to read it. Bring them to brotherhood with us whom you have adopted as sons through the finished work of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

For it is in his Mighty Name that I ask it, LORD. Amen.
