Matthew 12:22-50, Luke 11

Daily Verse

Therefore, if your whole body is full of light,

and no part of it dark,

it will be completely lighted,

as when the light of a lamp shines on you.

Luke 11:36

Daily Thought

A display at the high school heath fair.

Two lungs.

One, black as tar, from a 55-year old man who died because he was a bad smoker.

One, healthy and pink, from a 55-year old man who died because he was a bad driver. But never smoked.

The message: Stop Smoking.

Two souls.

One dark with bitterness and selfishness, foolishness and debauchery.

One bright with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning.
~1Corinthians 15:34

Daily Prayer

God, You said, "Let there be light," and there was light, before there were stars and sun and moon. And it was good. You are forever the light of the world.

But people love darkness instead. God, put in our hearts the desire for whatever is true and noble and right and pure and lovely and admirable and excellent and praiseworthy. May we be people who hunger and thirst for righteousness. May we be holy. may our light shine so that You are praised. May people see the light, and love the light rather than the darkness.

Amen.
