Today is brought to you by the letter I (as in “I” hope you enjoy the snow Lincoln is supposed to get today!!)

I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day.”   2 Timothy 1:12

I will never leave you or forsake you.”        Joshua 1:5

I can to all things through him who gives me strength.”    Philippians 4:13

There are a BUNCH of “I” texts and a LOT of “I” hymns!! They all seem to have the same message of hope and assurance developed by the writers of the Bible, and positive statements by God Himself about His commitment to their success. I find both valuable for me today. I can find my strength in Him AND He gives His total commitment to my success in the spiritual/eternal world.

More music today than words. That’s how I’m feeling this morning. This first song by Andrew Peterson is SO powerful to me. Listen closely to the words in this praise hymn from the book of Revelation

Have a great day knowing “Christ Alone,” who “Paid it all,” which means “HE IS WORTHY,”

Pastor Rich

“I hear the Savior say… Jesus paid it all”       https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5DyeCx8H4U

And here’s a Celtic version because I liked them both! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfUNU-sPwbQ

Quote for the day:      “20/20 is considered perfect vision. Maybe God is using 2020 for us to see clearly that He’s in charge and the only One who can help us!
