Scripture: Ps 138; Isaiah 51:1-6; Romans 12:1-8; Matthew 16:13-20
Scripture standout: Romans 12: "2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
Romans 12: '3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. 4 For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your[a] faith; 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead,[b] do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
Morning thoughts: Love that.
His Deed/The Day: Fell on the sword today for Marley, who did not ever send a thank you note to a friend who hosted her this summer. It was my fault. In all my rushing around and juggling, I forgot to follow up and remind Marley to write the darn thing. Uggh. How embarassing. So I called myself out on it and came clean. Felt good. Hopefully, made her feel good that Marley and her mother aren't total slacker bumpkins.
