SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY   Mark 14:22-26

²² While they were eating, Jesus took some bread and thanked God for it and broke it. Then he gave it to his followers and said, “Take it; this is my body.”
²³ Then Jesus took a cup and thanked God for it and gave it to the followers, and they all drank from the cup.
²⁴ Then Jesus said, “This is my blood which is the new agreement that God makes with his people. This blood is poured out for many. ²⁵ I tell you the truth, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine again until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
²⁶ After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

 

PRAYER FOR THE DAY 

Father, we thank You for this day, the day which You have made. Like the Psalmist, we look to You to “bring us word of Your unfailing love, for we have put our trust in You.” We expect good and not harm from Your unfailing love, so we struggle when the circumstances of our lives would appear otherwise. As we mature in our faith help us to weigh the experiences of our life here on earth with the eternal outcome of all the blessings You have waiting for us in heaven. Help us to recognize that there is much we endure on this side that serves as an example to others such as the jailers and other prisoners who looked on when Paul and Silas sang in prison. The fruit of the spirit can be exemplified in believers who rise each morning with the joyful proclamation, “This is the day which the lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Amen.

MAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE LOVE TO SHARE, HEALTH TO SPARE AND FRIENDS THAT CARE!
