Today’s Devotional
Does life feel a little “up hill”. You have an Advocate, a Helper.

We know our walk with You is a little “uphill” but each day of obedience makes the next day’s hill, easier. John says, “walk just as He walked.” That is our prayer today. Help us be more like you every day. We pray in Jesus’ name, amen.

Families must move on seeking to be faithful to God and to each other.
