SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY    Matthew 11:11-17

¹¹ I tell you the truth, John the Baptist is greater than any other person ever born, but even the least important person in the kingdom of heaven is greater than John. ¹² Since the time John the Baptist came until now, the kingdom of heaven has been going forward in strength, and people have been trying to take it by force.¹³ All the prophets and the law of Moses told about what would happen until the time John came.¹⁴ And if you will believe what they said, you will believe that John is Elijah, whom they said would come. ¹⁵ Let those with ears use them and listen!     ¹⁶ "What can I say about the people of this time? What are they like? They are like children sitting in the marketplace, who call out to each other,
    ¹⁷ 'We played music for you, but you did not dance;
       We sang a sad song, but you did not cry.'

PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, we’re thankful for the rope-holders who bear our burdens and encourage us in times of weakness and difficulty.  You work through such human vessels to convey Your strength, comfort, protection, and challenge as we walk together in faith.  Help us to be faithful in doing our part to encourage, pray, and offer support to those You lay on our hearts that we may be united and strengthened in our Christian journey.  Amen.

LAUGHTER IS GOOD EXERCISE, IT IS LIKE JOGGING ON THE INSIDE!
