Today's meditation:
- A lifetime of God's favor creates in us a thankful posture, regardless of current circumstances, knowing he can do what we need as easily as what he has already done.
Give thanks today:
- In 2016 we enrolled 920 students, but in 2017, we again asked God specifically to send us more students that we might expand our sphere of influence, and he responded by sending us 952 students which, at the time, was the largest enrollment in the history of Emmanuel College and the third consecutive year of record-breaking attendance. God is so good! Praise the Lord!
- Thank you, Lord, for encouraging us to pray instead of worry, for giving us what we need when we pray about everything, for performing marvelous miracles despite our mistakes and failures, for being God with us - always. Amen.
Our prayers make a difference in our outcomes. Please continue to pray over the list below that focuses on key needs at Emmanuel College.
“. . .they raised their voices together in prayer to God.” (Acts 4:24 NIV)
