Deuteronomy 30:4-10 Romans 10:8-13 Luke 4:1-13 |
| Scripture |
| "You shall not put the Lord your God to the test." |
| Reflection |
| How
often do I put the Lord my God to the test? When I was quiet with
the question, I realized that I do this more than I thought, in little
ways. I feel like I loose a little of my faith in the Lord when I
am not granted a prayerful request in the way I expected. Many times
I fight back asking 'why?', 'why me?', 'why now?'
"Faith in
the heart leads to justification, confession on the lips to salvation"
(Romans 10:10). I find that confessing my arrogance and pride at
thinking I know what is best for me in any given moment increases
my faith and inner peace. Thank you, Lord, for your acceptance and
the ongoing chance of salvation. Help me to confess any wrongs I
may have done to others with loving apology. I know I will find
peace and joy when I am honest with myself, others and you, Lord. |
| Mantra |
| My salvation is in you, Lord. |
