TODAY’S KEY VERSE: PSALM 97:12b
Remember what the holy God has done, and give thanks to him.
Reflect
In this psalm, the writer encourages us to “remember what the holy God has done” and to give God thanks. What memories do you have of what God has done for you? For what will you thank God today?
Pray
Lord God Almighty, you are my king. Reign in my heart forever. May the light of your love shine on me. I praise your glorious name and thank you for _____________________ _. Amen.
And now, join us in a prayer of thanksgiving for the translation of more than 70 new Bible stories in Nigerian Sign Language. Lord God, earlier this year the Bible Society of Nigeria completed the translation of 77 additional Bible stories into Nigerian Sign Language, bringing to a total 222 chronological Bible stories that now exist in video format and distributed free of charge to those in the Deaf community who wish to experience the Bible. Thank you, God, for the generosity of donors who are making these Scriptures available so that the people in the Deaf community can know the life-changing power of Jesus Christ. Amen.
