FROM TODAY’S READING (8/31/2021)…
“If you hope for happiness in the world, hope for it from God, and not from the world.”
David Brainerd (1718-1747)
American missionary to the Native Americans
Psalms 1:1-2 (NLT) Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night.
Psalms 34:8 (NLT) Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!
Galatians 5:22-26 (NLT) But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another.
