Scripture: Ps 119:1-24; Ps 12, 13, 14; 1 Samuel 16:1-13; Acts 10:1-16; Luke 24:13-35
Scripture standout: 1 Samuel 16: "7The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
Luke 24: "30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. 32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”
Morning thoughts: Going on a run, where I hope to receive the kind of "heartburn" that quiets concerns about all the little things on my summer to-do list. Bring on the heartbun!
His Deed/The Day:
What happens when you deliberately tweak your conscience to be more aware of meeting others' needs? Every day? And if it happens to be Lent...for 40 days? What does that look like? What deeds would transpire? What blessings come back? How do we listen for direction? Wake up each morning and decide to be intentional about bringing others better into focus with a little prayer, silence and scripture. Let the daily deeding commence! #DoingUntoOthers #OthersFirst #OneDeedADayGo
How to Do-Good
Quick How-To Guide: Start the day with a little silence, scripture (via Forward Day by Day, if you choose) and prayer. Then open your eyes and make it a practice to be hyper-aware of who and what's going on around you. Deploy that deed with confidence when God gives you his signature gentle nudge. This may feel awkward and unnatural. #NoWorries #GoWithIt #DeedWellDone #BlessingsEnsueJustWait
