A QUOTE, A TEXT AND A PRAYER…OR TWO
A QUOTE
The New Year is a time to learn to rely more heavily on the grace of God. Now I’ve met a few self-made men and women and so have you, but so often these people seem proud, self-centred and driven. There is another way: beginning to trust in God’s help. One secret from the Apostle Paul: “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength,” he said. (Phil 4:13, NIV) And God’s strength saw him through pain, joy, and accomplishment. Anonymous.
A TEXT
Blessed are they who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart.
Psalm 119:2
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
Colossians 3:23-24
AND A PRAYER…OR TWO
Dear Jesus, as You led the Three Kings to You by the light of a star, please draw us ever
closer to You by the light of Faith. Help us to desire You as ardently as they did. Give us
the grace to overcome all the obstacles that keep us far from You. May we, like them, have
something to give You when we appear before You.
Amen.
