Scripture: Ps 55, 138; 2 Samuel 1:1-16; Acts 15:22-35; Mark 6:1-13
Scripture standout: Ps 55: "22 Cast your cares on the LORD
and he will sustain you;"
Morning thoughts: I let my cares get the best of me all the time. Then I realize it, try to file it all away efficiently and present a final report that it's all under control — thanks, of course, to me and my skillful organizational ways. Then I wake up again in the morning and all the paperwork is scattered around again in my brain, and I go through the same process. My little internal secretary's running around frantically trying to fix it all. Why is it so hard to remember that I can just take all those extraneous files and toss the whole kit-in-kaboodle to God?
His Deed/The Day: Passed along congratulations to someone who has a new job.
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
