SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY     Luke 15:25-32

²⁵ “The older son was in the field, and as he came closer to the house, he heard the sound of music and dancing. ²⁶ So he called to one of the servants and asked what all this meant. ²⁷ The servant said, ‘Your brother has come back, and your father killed the fat calf, because your brother came home safely.’ ²⁸ The older son was angry and would not go in to the feast. So his father went out and begged him to come in. ²⁹ But the older son said to his father, ‘I have served you like a slave for many years and have always obeyed your commands. But you never gave me even a young goat to have at a feast with my friends. ³⁰ But your other son, who wasted all your money on prostitutes, comes home, and you kill the fat calf for him!’ ³¹ The father said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours. ³² We had to celebrate and be happy because your brother was dead, but now he is alive. He was lost, but now he is found.’”

 

PRAYER FOR THE DAY

  Father, we cannot remain neutral but must stand for that which is good or we will fall for that which is evil.  Help us, as believers, to cling to that which is good even when it comes at great sacrifice. With the aid of Your Holy Spirit, we will be keenly discerning of the spirits of this age. Philosophies of this world must never trump principles from the Word. We look to You alone, for “There is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” In the name of Jesus we pray.  Amen.

 

I WISH YOU LOVE IN YOUR HEART-PEACE IN YOUR SOUL- JOY IN YOUR LIFE-ALWAYS-
