HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
1-Humility honors God and God honors humility-

effect that pays dividends the rest of your life-

3-Do Christians in America today count it worthy to suffer disgrace for the
name of Jesus?
4-Peter told the Sanhedrin "God exalted Jesus to his own right hand as

Israel". Just to Israel only?

Answer for today Peace, be still Matthew 8:23-27
SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY Mark 5:1-10
5 Jesus and his followers went to the other side of the
lake to the area of the Gerasene[a]
people. 2 When Jesus got out of the boat, instantly a man with an
evil spirit came to him from the burial caves. 3 This man lived in the caves,
and no one could tie him up, not even with a chain. 4 Many times people had used
chains to tie the man’s hands and feet, but he always broke them off. No one was
strong enough to control him. 5 Day and night he would wander
around the burial caves and on the hills, screaming and cutting himself with
stones. 6 While Jesus was still far away, the man saw him, ran to
him, and fell down before him.
7 The
man shouted in a loud voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most
High God? I command you in God’s name not to torture me!” 8 He said this
because Jesus was saying to him, “You evil spirit, come out of
the man.”
9 Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”
He answered, “My name is Legion,[b] because we are many spirits.” 10 He begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of that area.

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Jesus, You are the Light of the world. And
because You reside in our hearts we are a reflection of Your holy light. The
world we live in is dark and growing even darker as Satan’s sinister and
deceitful schemes are being played out. Help us not to dismiss the darkness that
is spreading lest the darkness overshadow us in time. Instead we ask You to
empower us through the light of Your Holy Spirit to shine in a wicked and
decadent society. We come against the darkness by speaking against wickedness in
all forms. And, Lord, help us to be consistent not only in what we speak but the
manner in which we live, for our actions often speak louder than our words. May
the “fruit of the light consisting in all goodness, righteousness, and truth” be
evident in all we do since we have “put aside the deeds of darkness and put on
the armor of light.” It is in Your name, Jesus, that we pray.
Amen.
TODAY WILL NEVER COME AGAIN. BE A BLESSING. BE A FRIEND. ENCOURAGE SOMEONE.
TAKE TIME TO CARE. LET YOUR WORDS AND ACTIONS HEAL AND NOT WOUND!
