DAILY
\n<\/u><\/em><\/strong>Give us this day our daily bread…<\/em>\u00a0 Matthew 6:11<\/p>\n

Today’s Thought:
\n<\/u><\/strong>Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! Selah Psalm<\/em>\u00a068:19
\n
\n<\/u><\/strong>At Christmas time we often get lots more gifts, attention and good things than we normally do, but the Lord blesses us daily<\/span> <\/strong>with good things.
\nEvery day, He meets our needs.\u00a0 He is our constant help in times of trouble and true friend at all times.
\nHe protects us and guides us daily. He is our salvation and hope.\u00a0 He is our light and life.
\nDaily we should give thanks and bless His name.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s Action:<\/u><\/strong>
\nDaily means each day, every day. Therefore, today keep your focus on Today.
\nAsk God only for what you need today. Don\u2019t worry about what you or others might need tomorrow or next week, just focus on today.
\nAnd be sure to bless and thank Him for who He is daily.
\n
\nBe merciful to me, O Lord, for I cry to You all day long.<\/em> Psalm 86:3<\/p>\n

Only 15 days left until Christmas!\u00a0 Make each one count!<\/p>\n
