Seeing the life of Christ

The 20th Sunday after Pentecost

Our Lord, you are the one who makes us rich or poor. You put some in high positions and bring disgrace on others. ~ 1 Samuel 2:7 (CEV)

We always carry Jesus’ death around in our bodies so that Jesus’ life can also be seen in our bodies. ~ 2 Corinthians 4:10 (CEB)

KEY THOUGHT:
We gladly put up with the suffering and inconvenience that appears to be dragging us into an early grave so that the glorious life of the risen Christ can be seen through us.
PRAYER:
Our Lord, thank you for putting me in a position of responsibility. It's not big or flashy but I want to take your call seriously. Forgive me for whining when I have to put up with problems. Reshape my perspective and attitude so that people will see the life of Christ through the pain I endure. Amen.
