“Lord, open my eyes to the needs of others. Show me how to live more like Your Son, who always put others’ interests first. And especially show me that attitude as I serve my church.”
1. Luke 17: 1-2 NASB “He said to His disciples, ‘It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to him through whom they come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble.’ ” Father God, these are strong words concerning how we should live before children and young believers. Help us to be careful with our witness and the perception that newer believers may have of our actions and words.
2. Luke 18: 27 NASB “But He said, ‘The things that are impossible with people are possible with God.’ ” Father God, we can rejoice over and over again because with You all kinds of things are possible. Even our mistakes can be forgiven, unbelievers can become believers and skeptics can have their eyes opened. We thank You and praise You for this wonderful news!
