Readings of the Day
Revelation 7-"Salvation belongs to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!" And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, singing, "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen."
Nehemiah 9.38-10.39-We obligate ourselves to bring the first fruits of our soil and the first fruits of all fruit of every tree, year by year, to the house of the LORD...
Psalm 102-Let this be recorded for a generation to come, so that a people yet unborn may praise the LORD; that he looked down from his holy height, from heaven the LORD looked at the earth, to hear the groans of the prisoners, to set free those who were doomed to die; so that the name of the LORD may be declared in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem, when peoples gather together, and kingdoms, to worship the LORD.
Isaiah 27.1-6-In days to come Jacob shall take root, Israel shall blossom and put forth shoots, and fill the whole world with fruit.

God's Word of the Day
Give Me praise and honor and glory and go produce fruit in My Name.

Story of the Day
The mouse wandered out and saw the cat. The cat was ready to strike and pounce on the mouse. The mouse had to decide quickly if it was best to run, to fight or to freeze. The cat then saw the dog approaching. The dog was ready to attack. The cat had to decide to go for the mouse, to run from the dog, to fight the dog, or to freeze. The dog had to decide to save the mouse, go for the cat, obey the master or to freeze. The master was ready to discipline the dog. All had decisions to make that had some impact on the other, the mouse, the cat, the dog and the master. All needed to decide on the fate of the other or the fate of themselves. Then a Voice and a Presence came from above. Came from all around and within. A surrounding Presence. A Voice that was more than surround sound. A Voice of Love. A Voice and Presence that said, I have created all of this. I created it good. I created it in love. Love one another. Be kind and compassionate to one another. Work for one another and not against each other. Do all this and live in My Love. Fight the evil that you feel. Live in the Love I freely give and produce fruit. Then spend eternity in My Love praising and honoring Me and the Love that I freely gave to you. Now go and produce Love and leave all this hate behind. It worked! Once we saw each other as loving, living creatures of our God, we produced fruitful love and praised our God! All glory and honor and blessing to the Voice, to the Presence, to our God, now and forever!

Prayer of the Day
Lord, You looked down and sent Your Son to save us from our sinful selves. You saved us from certain death. We would destroy one another had it not been for Your Son who came down to save us. As we fight the battle against sin and death in this world, until the time You will fulfill the Kingdom; give us the courage and strength to live in Your Love. Send now Your Spirit to teach and lead us and to show us the way. As we give our fruit of life to You, fill us with Your Fruit of Love. May we be Your fruit bearing children. For You alone are all power, and glory and wisdom and might, now and forever! Amen!
