Good Morning, Ministry Partner:
Be Encouraged by God's Word:
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have works? Can faith save you? If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill," and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.[James 2:14-17, NRSV]
Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims:
Sacrifice yourself for God's will. It will not be in vain. Sacrifice yourself for truth, for justice. Sacrifice yourself against all human sense for something that is truly good. Sacrifice yourself for Christ in all things, and seek the kingdom of God. There is great strength in this...Stand for something; then your joy will be unbroken and lasting.[Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt]
Pray Together with Us:
Lord, we offer you ourselves this day
for the work you want accomplished,
for the people you want us to meet,
for the word you want to be uttered,
for the silence you want to be kept,
for the places you want us to enter,
for the new ways you want pioneered.
Go with us along the way, Lord,
and enable us to realize your presence
at all times and in all places,
our loving Lord Jesus Christ.[Morris Maddocks]
