Scripture: Ps 84; Malachi 3:1-4; Hebrews 2:14-18; Luke 2: 22-40
Scripture standout: Hebrews 2: "17 For this reason he had to be made like them,[a] fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. 18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted."
His Deed/The Day: Was dragging all day from a family deed done the night before, does that count? We had a birthday dinner for some older family members. It was late, late night...there was "animated debate" during dinner, there was little shared thanks. Exhausting, thoroughly. But hopefully, two people felt loved and appreciated on their birthdays. Hopefully.
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
