SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY    Luke 14:1-6

14 On a Sabbath day, when Jesus went to eat at the home of a leading Pharisee, the people were watching Jesus very closely. ² And in front of him was a man with dropsy.^{[a] 3} Jesus said to the Pharisees and experts on the law, “Is it right or wrong to heal on the Sabbath day?” ⁴ But they would not answer his question. So Jesus took the man, healed him, and sent him away. ⁵ Jesus said to the Pharisees and teachers of the law, “If your child^[b] or ox falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not pull him out quickly?” ⁶ And they could not answer him.

Footnotes:

1. 14:2 dropsy A sickness that causes the body to swell larger and larger.
2. 14:5 child Some Greek copies read “donkey.”

 

PRAYER FOR THE DAY

  Father, Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.  I have hidden Your Word in my heart that I might not sin against You. Direct me in the path of Your commands, for there I find delight. Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to Your Word. Let me live that I may praise You and may Your laws sustain me. My heart is set on keeping Your decrees to the very end.  Amen.

 

LIVE SIMPLY! LOVE GENEROUSLY! CARE DEEPLY! SPEAK KINDLY! LEAVE THE REST WITH GOD!
