Sunday: July 5th, 2020 Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

THAT IS NOT ALL YOU ARE
Friday: July 3, 2020 John 20:27 Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and examine my hands. Extend your hand and put it into my side. Do not continue in your unbelief, but believe."

PUT LOVE FIRST
Sunday: June 28, 2020 Matthew 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

CALL HIS NAME
Saturday: June 27, 2020 Reference: Matthew 8:5-17 Recently, I called a government agency for some enquiries and realised I had set up a voice recognition password on their system.
