Scripture is now available on a variety of devices, including mobile devices and old family Bibles. Aren't you in need of a dose of the eternal today?
Prayer
O God, I am continually reminded as I get older that my time on earth is temporary and that You rule in heaven forever. As I seek Your will in Your Word, please give me a sense of where I stand before You. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
