SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY Luke 18:9-14
9 Jesus told this
story to some people who thought they were very good and looked down on everyone
else: 10 “A Pharisee
and a tax collector both went to the Temple to pray. 11 The Pharisee stood alone and prayed, ‘God, I thank you
that I am not like other people who steal, cheat, or take part in adultery, or
even like this tax collector. 12 I fast
twice a week, and I give one-tenth of everything I
get!’
13 “The tax collector, standing at a distance, would not even look up to heaven. But he beat on his chest because he was so sad. He said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’ 14 I tell you, when this man went home, he was right with God, but the Pharisee was not. All who make themselves great will be made humble, but all who make themselves humble will be made great.”

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Father,
often times I am apprehensive when You speak to my heart like you did Esther,
through Mordecai Your messenger. When I’m to do or say something that’s not
within my comfort zone, my heart feels like it could explode and I become an
emotional cripple because fear overtakes me. It prevents me from stepping out
in faith and following through with an obedient heart. Would You remind me that
there is great blessing when I follow Your leading. Help me not to fear the
outcome, for that is not my responsibility. I need to leave that in Your hands.
Thank You for Your enlisting me to be a part of your grand purpose in sharing
the good news of salvation with the lost, strengthening the weak, and
encouraging those whose hope has faded. I can’t do it within my own abilities
but I can trust the Holy Spirit to equip me to be an uncompromising believer and
bold witness for You through Christ Jesus our Lord, no matter the times or
circumstances that surround me. I can do all things through Christ who gives me
strength. 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-
