SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY     Luke  9:51-56

⁵¹ When the time was coming near for Jesus to depart, he was determined to go to Jerusalem. ⁵² He sent some messengers ahead of him, who went into a town in Samaria to make everything ready for him. ⁵³ But the people there would not welcome him, because he was set on going to Jerusalem. ⁵⁴ When James and John, followers of Jesus, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven and destroy those people?

⁵⁵ But Jesus turned and scolded them. [And Jesus said, “You don’t know what kind of spirit you belong to. ⁵⁶ The Son of Man did not come to destroy the souls of people but to save them.” Then they went to another town.

 

PRAYER FOR THE DAY 

Father, we thank You for the New Testament Scriptures that highlight the many miracles of Jesus as He made Himself available to the common people, the sick people, and even the people driven mad by demons. Not only did You break the chains and fetters that people used to bind the demon possessed Gerasene when he was out of his mind, but You broke the chains and fetters that bound him to the evil control of Satan. He had a great, miraculous story of deliverance to spread throughout the community and in his own home. Our stories may seem to us much less spectacular, but when our bonds of sin are broken our deliverance is just as miraculous. So we pray for courage and motivation to share Your love by telling what You have done for us. We want to share Your love by sharing of our faith so that we show the world that Jesus Christ is real to us every moment, every day. Amen.

MAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE LOVE TO SHARE, HEALTH TO SPARE AND FRIENDS THAT CARE!
