02 Nov Trust and the Truth (Wisdom 3:9) by Rosemary Bernth
Welcome God now with this LIFE Group Devotion (FB), provided by LIFE Runners (FB). Leaders. Guest Authors. LIFE Minute radio.
“Those who trust in him shall understand truth, and the faithful shall abide with him in love: because grace and mercy are with his holy ones, and his care is with his elect.” ~ Wisdom 3:9 (full readings)
Rosemary’s Reflections: On our currency, it says “In God We Trust.” Yet our country seems anything but trusting of God or wanting to understand Truth. We have a president who preaches how Planned Parenthood provides so many positives for women like mammograms (which we know they do not perform), yet fails to mention the organization’s other service, the “A” word: abortion. Because we trust in God, we can see the Truth: Life begins at conception and all life should be protected until natural death.

2 Tim 4:7
* Pray/Fast: Prayer connects us with God’s will & His miracles, changing us & helping others. Fast from things that take your eyes off Jesus. Those who pray together stay together, and close to God!
* Save Unborn (& family): Abortion (images) is #1 death cause (22% pregnancies). Prov 24:11 & Jer 1:5. “A great poverty that a child must die that you might live as you wish.” Mother Teresa.
* Evangelize: Make room for unbelievers & re-evangelization of self, by way of prayer (relationship) and following Christ’s example of love (service/sacrifice/mercy). Mt 28:19.
