Come to Stillness: Take a few minutes to allow your mind and heart to
be still before God.
Opening Prayer: I am sure that there is in me nothing that
could attract the love of One as holy and as just as You are. Yet You have declared Your unchanging love
for me in Christ Jesus. If nothing in me
can win your love, nothing in the universe can prevent You from loving me. Your love is uncaused and undeserved. You are Yourself the reason for the love
wherewith I am loved. (Knowledge of the Holy by A. W. Tozer)
Scripture Reading for the Day: Titus 3:1-7
Reading for Reflection:
God has infinite
treasures to give us. Yet a little
tangible devotion, which passes away in a moment, satisfies us. How blind we are, since in this way we tie
God’s hands, and we stop the abundance of His grace! But when He finds a soul penetrated with
living faith, He pours out grace on it in abundance. God’s grace is like a torrent. When it is stopped from taking its ordinary
course, it looks for another outlet, and when it finds one, it spreads out with
impetuosity and abundance. (Practicing the Presence of God by
Brother Lawrence)
Reflection and Listening: silent and written
Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself
Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself
Closing Prayer: Lord, deliver me from the small loyalties of
habit or tradition that would keep me from larger loyalties of the spirit. Let me so incline myself to you that your
presence in my life determines both what I think and what I do. Through Jesus, who understood the deeper
meaning of freedom. Amen. (A
Devotional Guide to the Gospels by John Killinger)
