STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:   2 Samuel 7:4              
“But that same night the word of the LORD came to Nathan...”  Nathan thought David’s idea was great, so he blessed it with the Lord’s name.  But later that night, the Word of the Lord set him straight.  The Word of the Lord must be the basis for what we think, say, and do in God’s Kingdom: not our own desires or whims.
T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
