Thursday – April 27th – Revelation 2:7     -----     
 
2:7) “Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches. To everyone who is victorious I will give fruit from the tree of life in the paradise of God.
 
The Daily Walk Bible inspirational thought for today:
     WHEN YOU SEE A WORTHY PERSON, EMULATE HIM OR HER; WHEN YOU SEE AN UNWORTHY PERSON, EXAMINE YOURSELF.*

     Happy Thursday to you! Grab you some iron and cut back on your tea because blood drive time is here. The SunRise quarterly blood drive will be held on Monday May 1, 2023, from 3:30p – 7:30p. Summer is just around the corner causing the demand for blood to increase dramatically. God has blessed most people with a body that can easily reproduce blood to keep our levels topped off. Giving blood is quick, easy, and relatively painless. Giving blood can make a difference in the lives of people we may never meet. Sign up today at the SunRise events page through either the App or Website. Thanks in advance for the gift of life.

     In our pick verse today, Jesus closes out his letter to the believers in Ephesus with a promised reward for those who hear His warning and pursue their first love once again. All who are willing are invited to hear (obey) what Jesus says through the Spirit to His church. When we listen and follow the way of Jesus than our actions will always lead us to a victory against the devil and his attacks against us. We will receive the fruit of the tree of life as promised in this verse. This is our eternal life given to us which Adam lost through his sin in the garden of Eden. Knowing that God has promised us an inheritance in the Kingdom of Heaven is a great reason we should seek to passionately rekindle our first love of Christ.

Blessings
