We Pray: May we be HOLISTIC, serving in word and deed.
Key Scripture: Acts 6:1-7
ADORATION //
You are COMPLETE, ruling over spirit, soul, and body.
"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is One." – Deuteronomy 6:4
"The earth is the LORD's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein." – Psalm 24:1
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those whoare oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." – Luke 4:18-19
REPENTANCE //
"And he answered, 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all yourstrength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.'" – Luke 10:27
Lord, you tell us to both love You and our neighbor. Forgive us for ignoring or elevating one part of Your Commandment over the other.
"What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? So also, faith by itself, if itdoes not have works, is dead." – James 2:14,17
Lord, forgive us for having a faith that may be filled with lots of beautiful words and knowledge, but is without love and good deeds.
INTERCESSION //
"Pick out from among you seven men of good repute, whom we will appoint to this duty." – Acts 6:4 Lord, just as the disciples, may we sacrificially invest our resources in both teaching Your Word andmeeting physical needs, without ever neglecting one for the other.
MEDITATION // When Jesus says: 'My peace I leave with you', he uses the Hebrew word 'Shalom', which meansuniversal flourishing, wholeness, and delight. It describes the way things ought to be.
