Mindful of God's Leading

May 16, 2013

Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
–Galatians 3:24

When God gave the law, He knew that man was incapable of keeping it. Many persons are confused as to why God gave the law, if He knew man could not possibly keep it. The Bible teaches that the law was given as a mirror; I look into the law and see my spiritual condition. I see how far short I come, and this drives me to the cross of Christ for forgiveness. The Bible teaches that this is why Christ came—to redeem them that were under the law. Man could not keep the law, he was condemned by the law.

Prayer for the day

How I need Your guidelines, Lord. Teach me to be always mindful of Your leading.

In August 1982 when I was reading your book, "World Aflame" and in particular the section subtitled "The Cross of Christ" I became convicted of my need for Christ as my savior and I ask Jesus into my heart. BTW I bought it in a garage sale!

I am challenged by the way your ministry is always so fresh. You have enriched and inspired me, thank you.

I have known you since i was a little child and as long as I can remember you have been a man of God. My prayers are that you have a quick recovery. The Lord has used you in such a way that one can imagine. This world needs more godly men like yourself. May the Lord continue to bless you and ministry.

Thank you so very much for your wonderful ministry. I wish every Christian were as devoted and committed to the cause of Jesus Christ as you. If we were, it would be an entirely different world in which to live. I may never meet you here on earth, and I probably won't; but I look forward to meeting you (after I meet Jesus first, of course!) in heaven. Oh, what a day that will be!!

Your ministry has touched so many lives in this crazy, confused and Godless world. May our loving God cocoon you in His love and give you healing.

God's Holy Word is full of wise advice and excellent life lessons for all to read. Pray earnestly for the Holy Spirit to illuminate your mind and grow.

Dear Billy Graham, you are such a amazing man of God. God has used you to touch and encourage so many lost souls with your love and grace and words of inspiration. May the Lord heal you and may you have a fast recovery. You are so amazing. God has given you so many wonderful gifts to touch the lives of so many. My dream is to one day meet you and thank you for all that you do in the Lord Jesus Christ's name. May the Lord shower you with abundant joy, love, grace and healing. My prayers are with you. In his Loving Grace, may you heal quickly. Sincerely, Sherice
