Respite For the Weary
Tuesday
Picture: Soldier (armored boots)
Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-15 (emphasis on v.15); Psalm 18:29-36; Isaiah 61:1; Romans 16:20
Write any phrases from the selected Bible verses that speak to you:
Think of a soldier putting on his combat boots. He makes sure they are the right size and securely laced. Likewise, in order for peace to occur, we too must be prepared to pursue and defeat the enemy. We fight not only for our own freedom but also for those who are held captive.
Do you put your “combat boots” on daily, making you ready to crush the enemy? Explain.
Who in your world needs to hear the Good News so they can be set free and finally have peace? What are they struggling with? Consider calling them or taking them to coffee/lunch.
Write a prayer using the above verses as a reference.
Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch...and they filled both boats, so that they began to sink. But when Simon Peter saw that, he fell down at Jesus’ feet...(Luke 5:4-8).
Dear Lord,
May we never underestimate your power and your purpose. Thank you for allowing us to participate as we step out in faith and obey your voice. Overwhelm us with your unending love one more time today so we can then run and share it with others. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
