WORD OF THE DAY - Wednesday 23 December 2009


But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. (Galatians 4:4-5)

но когда пришло назначенное время, то Бог послал своего Сына, который родился от женщины, родился под властью закона, чтобы искупить находящихся под законом, чтобы мы стали полноправными сыновьями. (К Галатам 4:4-5 Russian SZ)

Lord God, our Shepherd - Dear Father in Heaven, we revere Your Name ~ Thank you for this new day that is dazzling with mounting evidence of the manner and consistency of your loving care for all creation. Give us an even greater sense of wonder as we consider how much you love all humanity by sending your Son to pay the ransom price to free us from our enslavement to sin. We are truly amazed at how valuable we are since we are made your children because of our obedient faith in Jesus Christ our Lord. Give us wisdom, love and patience so that we will be able to communicate the message of your grace to those who continue to refuse your offer of salvation. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Over a month ago, when we made a visit to a local orphanage to take some baby diapers and some other things, we put some of our advertisements for English lessons using the Bible at bus stops that we passed along the way. We are amazed that these still have drawing power. Yesterday we got another phone call from Sergei who is interested in our lessons. We have an appointment with him this afternoon at 2.00. Because of the short winter days, we moved our time to 5.00 for our Wednesday night meeting. On Thursday, we will have our meeting at 2.00 in the afternoon to accommodate those like our new brother Nikolai who cannot see well enough to venture out in the dark. Thank you for remembering this harvest field in your prayers.
