Don't scheme against your unsuspecting neighbors.
1 THESSALONIANS 2:8 (NLT)
We loved you so much that we shared with you not only God’s Good News but our own lives, too.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
True religion is marked by genuine relationships.
DAILY FODDER
Why does religion without relationship feel so hallow?
PRAYER
Loving God, I'm grateful for the great people you've sent into my life. They've been with me through good and bad times. I consider them to be a gift. Excuse me for being an inconsistent friend to you and my neighbors. Keep reminding me of the relational nature of your good news. It's not just about agreeing to certain doctrines or having a common mission. It's a matter of all of us living your life together. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
