Rejoicing
Hot Hot
or
Cold Cold
The Way is Always Challenging
Psalm 5:12
For you bless the righteous, O Lord; you cover them with favour as with a shield.
.
Acts of the Apostles 5:41-42
As they left the council, they rejoiced that they were considered worthy to suffer dishonour for the sake of the name. And every day in the temple and at home they did not cease to teach and proclaim Jesus as the Messiah.

Words of Grace for Today –
…
The Way of following Jesus, of going where God sends us and how the Holy Spirit guides us, with righteousness, wonder, and grace for all people,
The Way of following Jesus is never without risks and challenges.
Only when we trust that God shields us from final death, giving us new life each day, and everlasting life after death itself, can we proceed confidently into and through each day, meeting all challenges as Jesus would have us,
with kindness and honesty,
with music and dance,
with joy,
even
when
it’s
tough
going
forward.
