SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY 2 Corinthians 11:7-11

⁷ I preached God's Good News to you without pay. I made myself unimportant to make you important. Do you think that was wrong?⁸ I accepted pay from other churches, taking their money so I could serve you.⁹ If I needed something when I was with you, I did not trouble any of you. The brothers who came from Macedonia gave me all that I needed. I did not allow myself to depend on you in any way, and I will never depend on you.¹⁰ No one in Southern Greece will stop me from bragging about that. I say this with the truth of Christ in me.¹¹ And why do I not depend on you? Do you think it is because I do not love you? God knows that I love you.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father we thank you for the truths expressed in Scripture that reveal the way to wisdom. Your Word states that if any of us lacks wisdom, we should ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to us. So we ask that we may present to You a heart of wisdom. This wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy. As we attain that wisdom may our lives be as a sharpened axe, useful for the purpose You ordained, leading to a life that pleases You. In Jesus Name, Amen

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