Scripture: Ps 16, 17, 22; Amos 5:1-17; Jude 1-16; Matthew 22:1-14
Scripture standout: Ps 16: "7 I will praise the Lord. He gives me good advice.
Even at night my heart teaches me.
8 I know that the Lord is always with me.
He is at my right hand.
I will always be secure."
His Deed/The Day: Oh how I love having company for deeding this month! Marley and her friend, Ethan decided to give $10 to help build a new owl habitat at a local nature center. Their $10 purchased a box of screws. I could insert a joke here, but I won't. Night, night!
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
