Church

St Nicolas Day

(God,) Remember that we are the people you chose long ago, the tribe you redeemed as your own special possession! ~ Psalm 74:2a (NLT)

(Jesus said,) “The power of death will not be able to defeat my church.” ~ Matthew 16:18b (ERV)

All praise to you God. The plans you set in motion a long time ago are still moving forward. You have saved people and called them together to be your church. And ultimately your church prevails because you have called it together. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this operation. I find my identity and confidence in your church. Sometimes I get distracted and waver. Forgive me and keep me from that. I have confidence in you and how you are defeating death -- even today. I'm going to live as a Christian optimist! Amen.
