Respite For the Weary
For whoever wishes to save his life shall lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake shall find it. For what will a man be profited, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
Matthew 16: 25-26
Most High God,
The lure of being "the best" is so prevalent and deceiving in our culture in academics, in athletics, in appearance, in position… on and on. Please help my children not to worship any of these things as gods; instead, create in them the desire to USE THEIR GIFTS and abilities to worship You ALONE, no matter the place or position You have CHOSEN for them.
Blessed is the one who considers the poor! In the day of trouble the Lord delivers him. Psalm 41:1
Dear Lord,
Give us hearts like yours. Open our eyes to the poor and help us to respond with your lovingkindness. May we not look the other way...otherwise we will miss your blessing that is only discovered when we give. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
