ACT RESPONSIBLY

JEREMIAH 21:14 (MSG)
I’ll punish your evil regime.

MATTHEW 25:21 (NLT)
The master was full of praise. ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!

THE ESSENCE
The time is coming when we'll all face judgment—for better or worse.

DAILY FODDER
What do you think God will say to you on judgment day? Imagine the conversation. 

PRAYER 
Thank you, Jesus, entrusting me with the riches of your grace. Forgive me when I think these blessings come from my deeds. It is an honor to be a vessel filled with your blessings. May I never hoard them or bury them in the ground. Rather, pour me out to serve you and my neighbors with joy. Amen. (Daily TextsGround Up Grace edition)

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.
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 will protect us from all forms of evil. 
Amen.
