Soul Care New Every Morning at The Global Church of the Nazarene's Office of Clergy Development in Lenexa, Kansas, United States for Thursday, 5 November 2015 "
[On the contrary,] they are new every morning!
How great your faithfulness!
" Lamentations 3:23
Good Morning, Ministry Partner:
Be Encouraged by God's Word:
By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to set out for a place that he was to receive as an inheritance; and he set out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he stayed for a time in the land he had been promised, as in a foreign land, living in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. For he looked forward to the city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. By faith he received power of procreation, even though he was too old—and Sarah herself was barren—because he considered him faithful who had promised. Therefore from one person, and this one as good as dead, descendants were born, "as many as the stars of heaven and as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore."[Hebrews 11:8-12, NRSV]
Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims:
Faith is taking the first step even when you can't see the whole staircase.[Martin Luther King, Jr.]
Pray Together with Us:
O God, I acknowledge my utter dependence upon you. I have nothing that I have not received. By you I am sustained in nature and grace, day by day, and moment by moment. Suffer not the work of your hands to perish. Let your Spirit empty me of all that is not yours, that Christ may dwell in me and I in him.[W. Gray Elmslie]
