SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY Mark 6:35-44
35 When it was late in the day, his followers came to him
and said, “No one lives in this place, and it is already very late. 36 Send the
people away so they can go to the countryside and towns around here to buy
themselves something to eat.”
37 But
Jesus answered, “You give them something to
eat.”
They said to him, “We would all have to work a month to earn enough money to buy that much bread!”
38 Jesus asked them, “How many loaves of bread do you have? Go and see.”
When they found out, they said, “Five loaves and two fish.”
39 Then Jesus told his followers to have the people sit in groups on the green grass. 40 So they sat in groups of fifty or a hundred. 41 Jesus took the five loaves and two fish and, looking up to heaven, he thanked God for the food. He divided the bread and gave it to his followers for them to give to the people. Then he divided the two fish among them all. 42 All the people ate and were satisfied. 43 The followers filled twelve baskets with the leftover pieces of bread and fish. 44 There were five thousand men who ate.

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Father, we thank You for Jesus who came to
this earth as a tiny baby with a mission to die on the Cross as a sacrifice for
our sins to reconcile us to You. Not only are we forgiven and reconciled to You,
but we also are made joint heirs taking on our new identity as “children of
God.” What an incredible honor and selfless act of love that You would place us
in Your Kingdom whose reign is for all eternity. This is the wonder of Your
great love for all and the other wonder is that it is imparted to me personally.
I can express agape’ love to others because Jesus modeled it, taught it through
Scripture, and the Holy Spirit graciously provides it through us as we lay down
our own preference in deference to Your perfect will! May we live the Christmas
story everyday as we serve others above ourselves through Christ Jesus our Lord.
Amen.
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!
