to show mercy each morning." [Lamentations 3:23, Contemporary English Version] for Friday, 16 January 2015
Good Morning, Ministry Partner:
Be Encouraged by God's Word:
Thus says God, the Lord,
who created the heavens and stretched them out,
who spread out the earth and what comes from it,
who gives breath to the people upon it
and spirit to those who walk in it:
I am the Lord, I have called you in righteousness,
I have taken you by the hand and kept you;
I have given you as a covenant to the people,
a light to the nations,
to open the eyes that are blind,
to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon,
from the prison those who sit in darkness.
I am the Lord, that is my name;
my glory I give to no other,
nor my praise to idols.
See, the former things have come to pass,
and new things I now declare;
before they spring forth,
I tell you of them.[Isaiah 42:5-9, NRSV]
Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims:
The greatest honor we can give Almighty God is to live gladly because of the knowledge of his love.[Julian of Norwich]
Pray Together with Us:
Lord Jesus Christ,
You were poor and in misery,
a captive and forsaken as I am,
You know all man's distress;
You abide with me
when all others have deserted me;
You do not forget but seek me,
You will that I should know you and turn to you.
Lord, I hear your call and follow you;
Do help me.[Dietrich Bonhoeffer]
