Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to anyone who has nothing ready, for this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” (Nehemiah 8:10 NKJV)

І сказав він до них: Ідіть, їжте сите та пийте солодке, і посилайте частки тому, в кого нема наготовленого. Бо святий цей день для нашого Господа, і не сумуйте, бо радість у Господі це ваша сила! (Неемія 8:10 Ukrainian)

Our dear Heavenly Father ~ we boldly enter your magnificent presence as we observe the dawning of another new day. Bless all sincere followers of Christ with a sense of joy and renewed strength, as we put our trust in Christ who paid the price for our salvation. Because of this great love, and the fact that we sinners are unable to offer ourselves as an acceptable sacrifice for another person or persons. Bless the courageous efforts of our close associates who labor to perform acts of kindness with the joy of our Lord for spreading the gospel of peace and love to Ukraine. In the precious name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Word Of The Day - Monday 21 October 2024 from Cedar Key, FL

8 Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. 9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. (Romans 13:8-10 ESV)

8 Не будьте винні нікому нічого, крім того, щоб любити один одного. Бо хто іншого любить, той виконав Закона.9 Бо заповіді: Не чини перелюбу, Не вбивай, Не кради, Не свідкуй неправдиво, Не пожадай й які інші, вони містяться всі в цьому слові: Люби свого ближнього, як самого себе!
10 Любов не чинить зла ближньому, тож любов виконання Закону. (До римлян 13:8-10 Ukrainian)

Heavenly Father ~ we enter your gates with thanksgiving on our hearts as we consider the great sacrificial love that was demonstrated as your beloved Son allowed His creatures to rudely and loudly mock our blessed Savior as they murdered Jesus on a cruel cross reserved for criminals. Restore a spirit of love among all faithful believers in Christ so that the world will not accuse us of hypocrisy and refuse to hear us when we tell about our love for our blessed Savior. In the precious Name of Jesus we pray, Amen.

13 Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, “Do not think to yourself that in the king's palace you will escape any more than all the other Jews. 14 For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:13-14 ESV)

13 І сказав Мордехай відповісти Естері: Не думай в душі своїй, що втечеш до царського дому одна з усіх юдеїв...14 Бо якщо справді будеш ти мовчати цього часу, то полегшення та врятування прийде для юдеїв з іншого місця, а ти та дім твого батька погинете. А хто знає, чи не на час, як оцей, досягла ти царства!... (Естер 4:13-14 Ukrainian Bible)

Our Father who is in Heaven ~ we revere your most holy name as we humbly enter into your courts with the highest praise for your most kind and wise manner of treating humanity, even though we often behave as rebellious children. Accept our highest praise for your wisdom, that you have used brave people like Mordecai and Esther to make certain that the descendants of our blessed Savior would be living in Palestine in time for the Christ child to be born. Restore child like faith in all your people who are devoted to Jesus as Lord and King. In the precious name of Jesus, Amen.
