Sunday Morning Reflections_February 13, 2011

The Word for wisdom:

Proverbs 13:13-14 (ESV)
¹³ Whoever despises the word brings destruction on himself, but he who reveres the commandment will be rewarded. ¹⁴ The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, that one may turn away from the snares of death.

The Word for inspiration:

Psalm 73:28 (NLT)
But as for me, how good it is to be near God! I have made the Sovereign Lord my shelter, and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do.

The Word for encouragement:

Matthew 5:13-16 (HCSB)
¹³ "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt should lose its taste, how can it be made salty? It's no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled on by men. ¹⁴ "You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden. ¹⁵ No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, but rather on a lampstand, and it gives light for all who are in the house. ¹⁶ In the same way, let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

My prayer:

Holy Father, Sovereign Lord, I am so grateful for your great and mighty power displayed in creation. However, I have greater joy in knowing that you live in, and empower your people to be salt for this decaying world, and light to drive out the darkness in this world. Father, shine in me, and through me so that others may honor, praise, and glorify your precious name.

My song:
