Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, good morning. I love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory for this new day. I thank You that You are God, I am not. I could never do Your job. Answering prayers is your business and thank You for always answering mine. Thank You for the Holy Spirit in this day and every day. I believe that today I will conform to your image more than ever before. You are the giver and sustainer of life. May my roots be firmly planted in You, Your life-giving word as I am daily renewed and blessed with Your light. I trust that as I remain planted in You, my life, body, soul, and spirit, will be fruitful and prosperous. I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory Lord Jesus in Your Precious Name Amen.
John’s clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.
Matthew 3:4-8 NIV
