SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY     LUKE 18:22-25

²² When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “There is still one more thing you need to do. Sell everything you have and give it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me.” ²³ But when the man heard this, he became very sad, because he was very rich.

²⁴ Jesus looked at him and said, “It is very hard for rich people to enter the kingdom of God. ²⁵ It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”

 

PRAYER FOR THE DAY 

Father, we are challenged in Scripture to be filled with the Spirit speaking to ourselves with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs.  This heavenly language brings Scripture to our hearts and makes us one with You even in the midst of our busy schedule.  It is from the abundance of being filled with Your spirit that we overflow with heavenly music and psalm, even in the midst of hard and unfair situations in our lives. May praise and thanksgiving be the resounding theme from our hearts on this day and everyday!  In Your name, Jesus, we pray.  Amen.
