Riches do not profit in the day of wrath but righteousness delivers from death. Proverbs 11:4
Lord, this verse from Solomon reminds me of the verse that tells me if I gain the whole world and lose my soul what does that profit me. I have gained nothing. It is my faith and trust in You that will save my life. I WILL spend eternity with You Lord.
What an awesome gift Lord. Thank You!

The integrity of the upright guides them but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them. Proverbs 10:3
Lord it is hard for me to understand why there are those that are so cruel in this world. They are consumed by evil thoughts and evil ways. They perhaps could say the same of us that love You. They no doubt have it hard to understand how we can be so loving and caring.
Lord I thank You that at an early age I gave my life to You and You transformed me. Oh I certainly am far from perfect and am often a disappointment to You Lord. I thank You for gently nudging me back to where I need to be. The hurt caused to others however, often can never be forgiven or removed from the other person’s thoughts. That is hard for me Lord and I so often have to depend on Your help and guidance and most of all comfort. You are always there and I thank You.
Lord thank You for Your forgiveness. Thank You for Your unconditional love. Thank You for Your peace and joy. Awesome gifts Lord and I praise and thank You.
Thank You Lord. Thank You.
Amen

Thank You Lord for each and every gift and especially the gift of eternal life with You. That is the best gift of all Lord and I thank You!
