Despite all the hollering and propaganda to the contrary, only in GOD—our God—is there salvation for Israel.

Mary said:
With all my heart
I praise the Lord,
and I am glad
because of God my Savior.

PRAYER
My spirit rejoices in you, my God, and my salvation. I confess, though, that I often seek salvation by accumulating wealth, from the praise of others, and in personal accomplishments. Forgive me for pursuing salvation in the wrong places. Today I let go of my false pursuits and, like Mary, humbly love and serve only you. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
