Daily Bible Verse:              1 Corinthians 3:10

‘And each one must be careful how he builds.’

Just because we face a tough season does not mean we lose focus.
Every moment and every action matters, so build with perseverance. 

Prayer: Lord, thank You for this brand new day that You have given me. May I use every precious moment and every opportunity to build in such a way that my life can have a lasting influence for You. Amen.

As His children we should be focussed on doing what pleases Him.

So carry on loving and serving God, and He will take care of everything else.

Prayer: Lord, it is my intention and desire to follow You and honour You in all I say and do. I trust that You will work out all the things that I am facing, for my good and for Your honour and praise. Amen.

‘Don’t you realise that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, Who lives in you and was given to you by God?’

LEAD ME TO THE ROCK - Pastor Andrew W Roebert

Daily Bible Verse:              Nehemiah 2:18

‘Let us start rebuilding.’ So they began this good work.

- With God in our lives there is the possibility of the unimaginable.
- He can take what is broken and ruined and bring it back to life.
- Don’t give up, rather start rebuilding, the end result will surprise you.
- You never know how things could be if you never start.

Prayer: Lord, thank You that You give me the courage and the strength to step out and start to rebuild. You can restore what has been broken and damaged and what a joy it is to be able to begin again. Amen.
