BLEST BE THE TIE THAT BINDS

DEUTERONOMY 13:6,8 (CEV)
Someone else may say to you, “Let’s worship other gods.” That person may be your best friend, your brother or sister, your son or daughter, or your own dear wife or husband. But you must not listen to people who say such things.

MARK 3:35 (CEB)
Whoever does God’s will is my brother, sister, and mother.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Obedience to God is a stronger bond than anything else.

PRAYER
God, I survived 2021. Thank you for the gift of another new year. I know that there are challenges ahead. Help me to tune into your guiding Spirit who will help me apply your Word in 2022. I'm going to listen -- to you. Amen.

THE LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
