Reading:
Jeremiah 49-52, Psalm 127, New Testament Catch Up
Prayer:
Next week, this tool is changing a bit. We’ll be sending out weekly prayer prompts rather than daily. You can still expect a post each Monday, but those prayer prompts will carry you through the week.
- CS Spurgeon says of Psalm 127:1-2, “My grandfather said to me, ‘I study my sermon as much as if the work of preaching depended entirely upon myself. And I go into the pulpit relying upon the Spirit of God, knowing that it does not depend upon myself but upon him.’ The same thing is true in the great matter of our salvation. God saves his people. ‘Salvation is of the Lord’ from first to last, but no man is saved apart from his own believing in the Lord Jesus Christ. That faith is God’s gift, but it is man’s act.” Let us pray then for strength to work diligently, in all things, knowing our laboring is in vain, lest the Lord sends his aid. And that in all of our working, we are not gaining favor from God, as he has already poured out his favor upon us in his Son. We work from a place of blessed assurance and celebration of this great gift, not trying to earn it.
- Use Psalm 86:11 as a guide to pray for our junior and senior high students today. “Teach me your way, Oh Lord, that I may walk in your truth. Unite my heart to fear your name.”
- Please pray for Marty and Pat as they enter a new season after a long tenure of serving the body of Christ with InterVarsity.*
