SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY 1Corinthians 15:20-28

²⁰ But Christ has truly been raised from the dead—the first one and proof that those who sleep in death will also be raised.²¹ Death has come because of what one man did, but the rising from death also comes because of one man.²² In Adam all of us die. In the same way, in Christ all of us will be made alive again.²³ But everyone will be raised to life in the right order. Christ was first to be raised. When Christ comes again, those who belong to him will be raised to life,²⁴ and then the end will come. At that time Christ will destroy all rulers, authorities, and powers, and he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father.²⁵ Christ must rule until he puts all enemies under his control.²⁶ The last enemy to be destroyed will be death.²⁷ The Scripture says that God put all things under his control. When it says "all things" are under him, it is clear this does not include God himself. God is the One who put everything under his control.²⁸ After everything has been put under the Son, then he will put himself under God, who had put all things under him. Then God will be the complete ruler over everything.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, we think of the people in our lives that refresh us at the very sight of them or at the mention of their names. They have poured into our lives fruitful blessings by their kind actions and words, by their exemplary lifestyle and so often by their personal overcomings of life’s hardships. May we be not only recipients of such tender mercies, but diligent dispensers of loving kindness toward others. May our actions and words refresh them. Not that it should be our major motivation, but we know that when we refresh others, we ourselves are refreshed. So as we bless others, we too are blessed and we honor You as well. Amen

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