You will be called priests of GOD,
ministers who serve our God.
1 CORINTHIANS 4:1 (CEV)
Think of us as servants of Christ who have been given the work of explaining God's mysterious ways.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Whether clergy or laypeople, our collective calling is to serve the Lord by representing him to the world.
DAILY FODDER
What is one thing you do each day as an act of service to the Lord?
PRAYER
Jesus, our high priest, you represent us to God, keeping that relationship alive. And you've called us to serve you by representing you to the world. But I'm easily distracted from my calling. Forgive me and give me a heart for those who need help as they struggle with your mysterious ways. I'm going to find my joy in serving you in this way. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
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.
