NO. 47
REGULAR SESSION BEGINNING TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 2025
________
The House assembled at 10:00 a.m.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Jeff Lingerfelt as follows:
Our thought for today is from Job 19:25: "Yet as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last, He will take His stand on the earth."
Let us pray: O Lord our Father our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord--The Messiah, who, by the power that enables Him to subject all things to Himself, will transform our lowly bodies to be like His glorious body. O Lord until that day keep us Your servants faithful and steadfast, always abounding in the work of the Lord. Guide us this day and forever, that we might be Your servants in the realm of government; doing Your will for the betterment of this State. Now to Him who is able to make You stand before Him--Faultless! Always abounding in the work of the Lord. Amen.
