DAY 1
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
....declares the Lord:
I will put my laws into their minds,
and write them
on their hearts,
and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Exodus 20:3/2 Corinthians 3:3
Where Were They?
Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
Why?
Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
Then............
...they fell down, and there was none to help.
Then What?
Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
The Result:
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

DAILY REMINDER
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, 
and have not LOVE, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
And though I have the gift of
prophecy, and understand all mysteries,
and all knowledge; and though I
have all faith, so that I could remove mountains,
and have not LOVE,
I am nothing.
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not LOVE, it profiteth me nothing.
LOVE suffereth long, and
is kind;
LOVE envieth not;
LOVE vaunteth not itself, is not
puffed up,
Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own,
is not
easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
And now abideth faith, hope, LOVE, these three;
but the greatest of these is LOVE.
And from Jesus Christ, .... Unto him that loved us,
and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
1 Corinthians 13:1-5,13/Revelation 1:5
"If we ever reach heaven,
it will be by linking our souls to Christ,
leaning upon Him,
and cutting loose from
*the world,
* its follies
*and enchantments."

Closing Thought for the Day
For I am persuaded,
that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers,
nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth,
nor any other creature,
shall be able to separate us from the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38,39
