Monday, November 27, 2023:
Pause. Pray. Read. Be still. Write. Pray. Go about your day or turn in for the night.
Read: 2 Timothy 2:8-13
Paul’s letter to Timothy encourages his young protégé to continue to do his best in passing on the message of Christ through his ministry. Part of that message was to remember that death could not confine Christ. Likewise, neither should the difficult, impossible challenges of our day confine or prevent us from doing whatever the Holy Spirit prompts us to do.
Be still and Reflect: Who in your sphere of influence needs to hear about or experience the love of Christ today? Despite a busy, hurried schedule or feelings of inadequacy, watch for and reach out today to someone using only the gifts that you have.
Pray: Faithful and loving God, I am your witness. Enlarge my territory. Embolden me to do my best today in passing your words of forgiveness and love on to strangers, enemies, and friends alike in a way that empowers them to do likewise. In the name of Jesus Christ who sacrificed his life and conquered even death to ensure my salvation, Amen.
