					<description><![CDATA[For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. &#8211; Isaiah 43:19 NLT I will open rivers in desolate heights, And fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, And the dry land springs of water. &#8211; Isaiah 41:18 I am the LORD, that is My name; And My glory I will not give to another, Nor My praise to carved images. Behold, the former things have &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins. So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel, which is translated, “God with us.” Matthew 1:21-23 And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Now there &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! Psalm 107:8 It is good to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, And Your faithfulness every night. Psalm 92:1-2 Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. 1Chronicles 16:34 And when you offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, offer it of your own free will. Leviticus 22:29 Oh, give thanks to the LORD! &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As he traveled he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him [displaying the glory and majesty of Christ]; and he fell to the ground and heard a voice [from heaven] saying to him, &#8220;Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting and oppressing Me?&#8221; And Saul said, &#8220;Who are You, Lord?&#8221; And He answered, &#8220;I am Jesus whom you are persecuting, &#8211; Act 9:3-5 AMP In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. &#8230; That was the true Light which &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! Psalm 46:10 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Matthew 28:5-6 NIV In these troubled times I hope you will consider the above Words from God to you this day. Jesus said He would be crucified and killed. He was. He said He would rise again in three days. He did. He said He &#8230;]]></description>

He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.&#8221; &#8211; John 8:12 NKJV The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death Light has dawned.&#8221; From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, &#8220;Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.&#8221; &#8211; Matthew 4:16-17 NKJV &#8220;The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand.

For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.&#8221; Matthew 2:1-2 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the &#8230;]]></description>

If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You. &#8230; Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting. &#8211; Psalm 139:17-18, 23-24 A joyful heart makes a cheerful face, But when the heart is sad, the spirit is broken. &#8211; Proverbs 15:13 NASB20 Recently I was chatting &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and become wise! Though they have no prince or governor or ruler to make them work, they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter. Proverbs 6:6-8 NLT Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer; Proverbs 30:25 NIV For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. Colossians 1:16 Whilst returning from &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, &#8220;If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. &#8220;And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free… Jesus answered them, &#8220;Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. &#8220;And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. &#8220;Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.&#160; John 8:31-32, 34-36 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God&#160; &#160;Romans 3:23 Unless the weather is really nasty, &#8230;]]></description>
