But the Lord’s faithful love is from forever ago to forever from now
for those who honor him.
And God’s righteousness reaches to the grandchildren
of those who keep his covenant
and remember to keep his commands.
REVELATION 3:10 (CEB)
Because you kept my command to endure, I will keep you safe through the time of testing that is about to come over the whole world, to test those who live on earth.
THE ESSENCE
God values long-term faithfulness.
DAILY FODDER
How has the long-term faithfulness of others affected your life?
PRAYER
Lord, there is no beginning or end to your love. Forgive me for seeking out love from other sources that can't ever do what you do. I look for affirmation from peers, lovers, and even Facebook. Help me to set myself firmly in your camp—to make you my routine, my sole identity. I'm not going to waver regardless of what comes my way. In Jesus' name, Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.

Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
