I read every morning from The Daily Bread (rbc ministries). Today, I pick up the booklet and started to read the verse of the day. I thought the printer made a typo. Here’s the verse: Habakkuk 3:18 (NKJV) Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. Did you catch it? Its “I will joy” in the God of my salvation. Isn’t that the coolest verse? I will joy (delight, jewel, wonder, treasure, pearl, prize and gem). ...

As we embark upon the close of 2011, I am reminded of a very familiar scripture written by The Apostle Paul in 2 Timothy 4:7. The scripture states, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." Paul referenced this particular scripture during his second imprisonment in Rome.
