Daily Nugget:<\/strong>
\u201cFor all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.\u201d I Peter 24-25<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kings and presidents come and go. Celebrities also rise and fall. People are here on this earth for a relatively short time, and then they are gone. One thing that will never vanish, and one book that will never be just a \u201cfad,\u201d is the Word of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One could knock on most doors in your area and not find many households with books written over 100 years ago. Those houses would also hold even fewer copies of books that were over 500 years old. However, most of those houses would have at least portions of a book that is over 3,500 years old. Most homes have a Bible. This validates the prophecy that God\u2019s Word will always be with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men, sometimes with Satan behind their actions, have tried different methods to make God\u2019s promise of always having His Word with us not true. However, all their attempts have failed. It has been burned, ripped up, and hid, but the Bible remains. People have been killed for even reading it, but still, the Word of God is available. Men have tried changing its words with over 300 modern English versions and diluting what God wants every man, woman, and child to know, but still, the truths from the Word of God are available to many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The King James Version has celebrated its 400th birthday. The Word of God is still with us! God cannot lie, and He is keeping His promise. His Word will endure forever!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s Thought: <\/strong>
\u201cRead my Bible; Pray every day, and I\u2019ll grow, grow, grow.\u201d \u2014 Child\u2019s Song<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Words to Understand:<\/strong>
Foreordained: previously mentioned; prophesized
Manifold: many
Strangers: In this instance, \u201dstrangers\u201d were those that were not Jewish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

oday\u2019s Reading:<\/strong>
I Peter 1 <\/em>
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,<\/em>
2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.<\/em>
3 \u00b6 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,<\/em>
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,<\/em>
5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.<\/em>
6 \u00b6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:<\/em>
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:<\/em>
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:<\/em>
9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.<\/em>
10 \u00b6 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:<\/em>
11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.<\/em>
12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.<\/em>
13 \u00b6 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;<\/em>
14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:<\/em>
15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;<\/em>
16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.<\/em>
17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:<\/em>
18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;<\/em>
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:<\/em>
20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,<\/em>
21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.<\/em>
22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:<\/em>
23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.<\/em>
24 \u00b6 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:<\/em>
25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
