believe in his life, death and resurrection and his vision of the Kingdom of
God-

3-"Do not repay anyone evil for evil"-

SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY Luke 17:20-21
20 Some of the
Pharisees asked Jesus, “When will the kingdom of God come?”Jesus answered, “God’s kingdom is
coming, but not in a way that you will be able to see with your
eyes. 21 People will not say, ‘Look, here it is!’
or, ‘There it is!’ because God’s kingdom is among
you.”
PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Father, Your Word shows us that obedience brings about
blessing but disobedience brings about dishonor. I want to honor You with my
life, for there is nothing hidden from Your eyes. Help me to uphold the
standards of truth and honesty as revealed through Your unchanging Holy Word;
not by the standards of this world that customize “truth” to suit their
ever-changing whims, nor by my brothers and sisters of the faith who often come
up short. When I’m confronted with my sin help me to have the fortitude and
courage to deal with it. May I not cover it up, seek to justify it, blame
others, procrastinate or deceive myself. Thank You for granting complete
forgiveness to those who come to You in contrition willing to lay down sin and
take up righteousness. Amen.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you
strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy-
