Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Word for the Way is a blog designed to give you a brief dose of God’s Word, the Bible — to encourage, to strengthen, and to prepare you for your daily walk in this thing we call life.

October is Clergy Appreciation Month.
Sunday, October 12, 2025 is Pastor Appreciation Day.
This is the perfect time to show appreciation to our pastors and other ministers–to thank God for their ministry in our lives.
Romans 10:13-15
13 For, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring good news of good things!”
Mark 16:1-7 (NKJV)
1 Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him.
2 Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.
3 And they said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?”
4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away—for it was very large.
5 And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.
6 But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.
7 But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going before you… .”

Proverbs 31:25-31
25 Strength and honor are her clothing; She shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom, And on her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She watches over the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many daughters have done well, But you excel them all.”
30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the Lord , she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands, And let her own works praise her in the gates.

Proverbios 31:25-31
25 Se reviste de fuerza y dignidad, y afronta segura el porvenir.
26 Cuando habla, lo hace con sabiduría; cuando instruye, lo hace con amor.
27 Está atenta a la marcha de su hogar, y el pan que come no es fruto del ocio.
28 Sus hijos se levantan y la felicitan; también su esposo la alaba:
29 «Muchas mujeres han realizado proezas, pero tú las superas a todas».
30 Engañoso es el encanto y pasajera la belleza; la mujer que teme al Señor es digna de alabanza.
31 ¡Sean reconocidos sus logros, y públicamente alabadas sus obras!

Psalms 100:1-5 (NKJV)
1 Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!
2 Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
3 Know that the Lord, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
5 For the Lord is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.
