*A thought*:
The apostle Paul tells us that when Christ stood before Pontius Pilate, He "made the good confession" (ITimothy 6:13). What does that mean? This Christ would not allow the actions of Pilate to determine His. He acted, rather than reacted. He resolved to remain silent. He resolved to go on loving. When we act rather than react to life, then we do as Jesus did - we "make a good confession"
*Week #45 Memory Verse*:
2 Corinthians 1:4
"... who comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God"
