As I sit here putting together this message, I have a deep compulsion to pray for all church assemblies and the leaders of their flocks so please join me as I move forward in prayer.
Today’s Prayer
Father, I pray for every church assembly that exists today. I pray that every leader will be obedient to Your voice and follow the leading of Your Spirit. I pray that none will serve out of self-glory but will serve out of reverence and love and a calling from You. I pray that they will be sensitive to the needs of the body of Christ; that they will understand what the ministry needs, and will provide opportunities of service to include all of those who want to use the gifts You have given them in the ministry. God, please provide protection, wisdom, and strength for those who lead, and may they follow Your lead as they “shepherd the flock” You have given them. In the Great name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
Let’s eat.
A psalm of David.
Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.
Quote of the Day
He who searches for Divine Reality with all his heart and soul and finds it, becomes aware that, before he began to seek God, God was seeking him, in order to draw him into the joy of fellowship with Him, into the peace of His Presence; even as a child who has strayed, when he is safely back in his mother’s arms, realizes that she had been searching for him, with deep maternal love, before he had begun to think about her. ~Sadhu Sundar Singh~
