+Living Life God's Way+ 2/7/2003 http://livinglifegodsway.com When Jesus is with us, all is well and nothing seems insurmountable. But when Jesus is absent, everything is difficult. If Jesus does not speak to us inwardly, all other comfort is meaningless. But the slightest communication from him brings consolation. Bernard Bangley _______________________________ Does Prayer Change Things? They say that prayer changes things, but does it REALLY change anything? Oh yes!

Teressa Vowell ________________________________________ Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth. Proverbs 27:1 Humility about the future! We don't control tomorrow. At times in our lives we took tomorrow for granted; not so anymore. Tomorrow may not come. Tomorrow something horrible may happen. Tomorrow everything we possess could be gone. We do know one thing, however, God holds tomorrow in his hands. If our life is hidden with Christ with God (see Col 3:1-4), then our tomorrow is secure. It might not be what we expect. It might not go as we planned. But, it will go as God determines, and that should be enough for us! Today's Verse: HEARTLIGHT Magazine
