Good day dear friends. A meeting early this morning in San Antonio
kept me from sharing at an earlier hour.
Prayer Request: Howard Moon continues to be in a coma and may be
moved home to be under hospice care. Edna continues to need our
prayers. We also learned today that Audrey McElroy has been in the
hospital since Jan. 4th. Please keep Audrey and husband Bill in
your prayers.
Here is our study guide for today:
Tuesday: Please find Micah 6:8 and read what God desires in a life
that counts. Does this apply to the way you're living your life
now? What needs to change in your life for it to be better?
Here is the Micah passage from 6:8 He has told you, O mortal, what
is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and
to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
A life that counts takes justice, kindness and humility seriously.
This means we put ourselves in a proper place by placing others and
their needs as important. The passage from Micah was speaking to
the people who had placed themselves first in any list of needs. The
Lord speaks to them and says that we must be men and women of justice,
treating other fairly and equally. We are to love kindness, putting
consideration of others as important, treating them with kindness,
gently tending to their wants and needs. And humilty sums it up.
We are who we are because of Whose we are. If we belong to God, then
we humble ourselves before the Lord and let our actions reflect that
very thing: God has made us to be who we are and our lives will count
when we place ourselves as being God's and as God's serving others.
PRAYER: Make us dear God, the people of justice, kindness, and
humility. Let our lives reflect that we count because we belong to
You. We pray in He who modeled His life after You, Jesus our Lord,
amen.
Have and great blessed day in the Lord.
