TODAY’S WORD…

.

“If you put an end to oppression,

to every gesture of contempt,

and to every evil word;

if you give food to the hungry

and satisfy those who are in need,

then the darkness around you will turn to the brightness of noon.”

.

– Isaiah 58:9b-10 (GNT)

.

.

.

REFLECTION…

.

In the true spirit of love and sacrifice,

Christians should not point fingers or back-bite or gossip,

but rather show neighbourly concern,

and provide for the needy.

.

When we do so,

the gloom and darkness of depression will seem like the sun at noon.

Positive attitudes and charitable actions

are the ways to shine.

.

God’s light is in every believer

– if only we would let it shine!

.

.

.

PRAYER…

.

God of wisdom and love,
source of all good,
send your Spirit to teach me Your truth
and to guide my actions

that I may always love and give gladly in Your Name,

and that I will take Your light where there is darkness

and Your joy where there is sadness.
.

I ask this through my Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son,

who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God,

for ever and ever. Amen..

.

.

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…

.

Lord of wisdom and love, help me shine Your light.
