<h3 class="clear" style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.25em; max-width: 100%; clear: both;">Thoughts on Today's Verse...</h3><p style="max-width: 100%;">Isn't it good that we can sing alone and know God loves our songs! Isn't it even better that we can join others in songs of praise and lose ourselves in wonder, love, and joy, knowing that the Holy Spirit fills us and joins us in this praise (<a href="https://ref.ly/Eph%205.17-21;niv?t=biblia" data-reference="Eph 5.17-21" data-version="niv" data-purpose="bible-reference" target="_blank" rel="noopener" style="color: rgb(65, 110, 210); max-width: 100%; text-decoration: underline;">Ephesians 5:17-21</a>). Let's spend today finding other believers and praising God together. All around the world and hundreds of thousands strong,* let's reach out as the <a href="https://www.verseoftheday.com" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(65, 110, 210); max-width: 100%; text-decoration: underline;">Verse of the Day</a> family to other believers and ask them to join us in glorifying the <span style="max-width: 100%;">Lord</span>!
</p><hr style="max-width: 100%; background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); height: 1px; border: 0px;"><p style="max-width: 100%;">* Our Verse of the Day family is composed of people from over 190 countries, in 15 languages, and with approximately 300,000 daily participants, so let's praise God all around the world today and invite others to join us!

<p style="max-width: 100%;">Almighty and merciful God, please be pleased with our praise and our attempts to join others in bringing you glory. Forgive us for our sins, slips, and slights. Empower us to be living witnesses to your magnificent grace and invite others to join in our praise to you. In Jesus' name, we ask this. Amen.</p></div>
