Reading:
Esther 4-6, Psalm 90, Galatians 1
Prayer:
- “Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from this present evil age.” (Galatians 1:3) Notes from Spurgeon’s Study Bible: “God’s great objective with regard to his people is to deliver them from this present evil age. We are living in this present evil age; and, as Paul called it by that name, we need not alter the phrase, for we cannot help knowing that it is still an evil age. And in it are God’s redeemed and chosen people, by nature part and parcel of that age, … The objective of Christ is to … find his own people who were given to him before the earth was and to deliver them from the bondage and the slavery in which they are found in this Egypt, of which they seem to form a part, though to the eyes of Christ they are always as separate and distinct as the Israelites were when they dwelt in the land of Goshen.”
- Today is the last day of VBS! This week kids from 4K through 4th grade have had the gospel presented to them through so many avenues – song, dance, storytime, crafts, games. This week has been saturated with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Please pray for all of the hearts of the participants, volunteers, leaders, and extended families of each – that the Good News of God’s love for the world would sink deep into our hearts and begin/continue its transforming work there. Pray for the seeds planted this week, that they would yield an incredible harvest for the Kingdom!
- Pray for Jordan as he seeks to make disciples of Jesus with Cru in the southeast part of Wisconsin.*
