Graciously

1 SAMUEL 2:7 (NLT)
The LORD makes some poor and others rich;
he brings some down and lifts others up.

JAMES 2:1 (GNT)
My friends, as believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, you must never treat people in different ways according to their outward appearance.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Since we all depend on grace we need to treat each other graciously.

PRAYER
Lord of glory, thank you for your justice that turns the tables on life as usual. You bring grace when and where we least expect it. Help us to see and treat others, not in light of how the world perceives glory, but according to the cross of Christ. Call us anew into your kingdom this day. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name; your Kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
