SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY    Luke 9:1-6

1 Jesus called the twelve apostles together and gave them power and authority over all demons and the ability to heal sicknesses. ² He sent the apostles out to tell about God’s kingdom and to heal the sick. ³ He said to them, “Take nothing for your trip, neither a walking stick, bag, bread, money, or extra clothes. ⁴ When you enter a house, stay there until it is time to leave. ⁵ If people do not welcome you, shake the dust off of your feet^[a] as you leave the town, as a warning to them.”

⁶ So the apostles went out and traveled through all the towns, preaching the Good News and healing people everywhere.

PRAYER FOR THE DAY 

Father, we’re strengthened physically, emotionally and spiritually knowing that we can do all things through Christ who provides us with His strength. In ourselves we are weak and often distressed by the daunting trials of life. When they become our singular focus we are easily overtaken by doubt and helplessness. But when our primary focus is on worshiping the Lord Jesus who is our Provider, our Strength, our Sustainer, our Hope and our Soon Coming King our mourning turns into joy, our weakness into strength, and our hope is once again renewed.   Thank You for making that possible. Amen.


I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING!
