SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY Mark 6:1-6
6 Jesus left there and went to his hometown, and his
followers went with him. 2 On the Sabbath day he taught in the synagogue. Many
people heard him and were amazed, saying, “Where did this man get these
teachings? What is this wisdom that has been given to him? And where did he get
the power to do miracles? 3 He is just the carpenter, the
son of Mary and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon. And his sisters
are here with us.” So the people were upset with Jesus.
4 Jesus
said to them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his
hometown and with his own people and in his own home.” 5 So Jesus was
not able to work any miracles there except to heal a few sick people by putting
his hands on them. 6 He was amazed at how many people had no faith.
Then Jesus went to other villages in that area and taught.

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Father, as You call us to walk the narrow
path the vast majority rejects, we thank You for the godly examples who have
gone before us and shown us the way. Such giants of the faith as Abraham, Moses,
Joseph, Paul and countless others throughout the generations have shown us the
way to be faithful even in the midst of adversity. They made great sacrifices in
their lifetime to gain an eternal inheritance in heaven. Their sacrifice was
temporal and short in duration compared to the eternal pleasures they now enjoy.
Help us not to resent the struggles that lead us to seek You in a deeper more
intimate relationship. May we, like Job, declare “I know that You can do all
things; no plan of Yours can be thwarted. My ears had heard of You but now my
eyes have seen You” (Job 42:2,5).
TODAY WILL NEVER COME AGAIN. BE A BLESSING. BE A FRIEND. ENCOURAGE SOMEONE.
TAKE TIME TO CARE. LET YOUR WORDS AND ACTIONS HEAL AND NOT WOUND!
