receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge
him at the last day.

the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
Today's Prayer
Heavenly Father, my hope is in You alone as I face the many
storms of life that constantly seem to be battering at my door, with increasing
intensity. Lord, they seem like billowing waves beating against everything that
has spelt security in my life up ‘til now, and causing me to realise that
without You I would be overcome in a moment of time. Help me Lord to look to
You and maintain that hope that I have in You, knowing that without You I am
nothing, but with You at the helm of my life I have all I need to stand firm in
the faith. Amen.
