Devotional Reflection
GratitudeHope
Do you find it refreshing that Paul believes that faith, hope, and love will naturally lead to specific acts in a society where intentions appear to be trusted more than deeds?
Prayer
Mighty God of salvation, help me to glorify You by displaying my faith, hope, and love in all I do. By the power of Your Holy Spirit, please give me fresh energy and fortitude so that everything I do will be an expression of Your grace and personality. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
