Tuesday, May 5th Joshua 21:43-45
“So the LORD gave Israel all the land he had sworn to give their forefathers, and they took possession of it and settled there. The LORD gave them rest on every side, just as he had sworn to their forefathers. Not one of their enemies withstood them; the LORD handed all their enemies over to them. Not one of all the LORD’S good promises to the house of Israel failed; every one was fulfilled.”
Thought for the Day: God is not slack concerning his promises (2 Peter 3:9).

Thought for the Day: God is with us.
Tuesday, May 12th Psalm 97:1, 98:4-6
“The LORD reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice…Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music; make music to the LORD with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing, with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn – shout for joy before the LORD, the King.”
Thought for the Day: Our God reigns! Shout for joy before the LORD.
