Praise His Name: AUTHOR<\/strong>
\n“…the Author of eternal salvation…”<\/em> Hebrews 5:9 (NKJV)
\n“…the Author and finisher of our faith…”<\/em> Hebrews 12:2 (NKJV)<\/p>\n

Today’s Thought:<\/strong>
\nGod is the Author of our faith, peace and eternal salvation.
\nGod wrote it, created it, spoke it, and caused it to come into being.
\nToday, let’s pause to praise Him for what He has done for us spiritually.
\nHe originated our faith, eternal salvation and our peace.
\n“For God is not the author of confusion but of peace” 1<\/em>Corinthians 14:33 (NKJV)<\/p>\n

Today’s Praise Pause:<\/strong>
\nDear God, I pause to praise You today as the Author of Faith, Eternal Salvation and Peace. You are so awesome God! Sometimes my mind just cannot contain all that You are!
\nIt is amazing to think that You, my Almighty Abba Father are the Author of all that I need! I thank and praise You, in Jesus’ name. Amen.<\/p>\n
