SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY Romans 15:8-13

⁸ I tell you that Christ became a servant of the Jews to show that God's promises to the Jewish ancestors are true. ⁹ And he also did this so that those who are not Jews could give glory to God for the mercy he gives to them. It is written in the Scriptures:
"So I will praise you among the non-Jewish people.
I will sing praises to your name." — Psalm 18:49
¹⁰ The Scripture also says,
"Be happy, you who are not Jews, together with his people." — Deuteronomy 32:43
¹¹ Again the Scripture says,
"All you who are not Jews, praise the Lord.
All you people, sing praises to him." — Psalm 117:1
¹² And Isaiah says,
"A new king will come from the family of Jesse.
He will come to rule over the non-Jewish people,
And they will have hope because of him." — Isaiah 11:10

¹³ I pray that the God who gives hope will fill you with much joy and peace while you trust in him. Then your hope will overflow by the power of the Holy Spirit.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Jesus, You know the very intention of all that I say and do. As I invite You to examine my heart, I lay before You the people and pursuits that drive me further away from a heart of worship. You have not removed me bodily from this world, but You have raised me up spiritually to abide in Your presence even as I carry out my daily duties. As Your presence overshadows me it is there that Your love and faithfulness sustains me and gives me a true heart of worship. Even as a vehicle needs fuel to properly function, I need prayer to uphold and equip me for the day that lies ahead. Amen.

GREATLY BLESSED, HIGHLY FAVORED, IMPERFECT BUT FORGIVEN CHILD OF GOD!!!
