This is the day which the Lord has made. We will rejoice and are glad in it. Each day we wake up with both the same and new reasons to rejoice in what You are doing or have done, God. There is not time in each day to recount the wonders of You.. In our time of prayer now, we meditate on what You said about Yourself in Zephaniah 3 and join together with a resounding, “Hallelujah!”. You are in our midst! You are mighty to save! You rejoice over us! You quiet us with Your love! You are uncompromisingly righteous! Every morning You bring Your justice to light! You fail not! (vs.5)

Glorious God, as we agree with what You say about Yourself, we think about the U.S. military men and women that You have given us. We know that You are in their midst and are mighty to save each one. Quiet each one with Your love and reveal Your goodness and righteous ways to them. We know that You will not fail in this demonstration of Your nature because this is Your will. We can but say, “Thank You.”

Our band of believers here stand in the gap for our Nation, looking only to Your goodness. Restore us in Your goodness to a God-fearing country which honors You and sends out a beacon of Your love around the world. Give us godly leaders so that Your Word can have free course and expose darkness by shining Your light all over our Country.

We love and honor You today, thanking You for Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection. It is in this name above names that we pray and say, “amen.”

Courageous Conversation

May 16, 2012

Is it possible that technological advances in communication have left us unable to confront people properly? After all, employers can now send layoff notices via e-mail. And people can criticize others on Facebook and Twitter instead of talking face to face. Perhaps it might be better to put all that aside and emulate how Paul communicated with Peter when they had a disagreement.

Paul had to confront Peter for compromising grace (Gal. 2:11-16). Peter had been fellowshiping with Gentiles, but when the Judaizers arrived (who believed that sinners are saved through Jesus plus keeping the law of Moses), Peter separated himself from the Gentiles. He ostracized them while professing to be one with them. Seeing this hypocrisy, Paul, in love and with passion, confronted Peter face to face for cowering to a legalistic system that was powerless to change lives. He vigorously reminded Peter that grace leads to freedom from sin’s slavery and to obedience to God.

Having courageous conversations with fellow Christians can be difficult, but they will promote purity and unity. We can carry out our responsibility to one another to speak the truth in love (Eph. 4:15) by walking in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Lord, give us courage to confront
Believers who have strayed;
And then with gentleness restore
By coming to their aid. —Sper
A well-chosen word can speak volumes.

Read: Galatians 2:11-21

When Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed. —Galatians 2:11
Bible in a Year:
Job 8-10
