Devotions for Saturday 24th July

Go to home page

Praise You Lord Jesus Christ, for You fill my soul with joy and gladness.  Joy because I know You are alongside me in everything I do, and gladness because You bring the best out of me in every situation.  These gifts of grace enable me to stand above the strife, suffering and evil in this world, and when they touch me, I can know for sure that Your love will restore my body and soul, and lead me back again to You.  Thank You Jesus; AMEN

Brother, sister, friend; the Lord watches His people.

    Take time to speak to a friend who needs help and comfort;

    Especially those with whom you have had your differences.

    Offer love and affection to everyone within your family;

    Especially to any who find it hard to show love to others.

    Give attention to those who seek your help, whatever the need;

    Especially the poor and downtrodden, rejected by others.

    Present yourselves well, and speak no ill of your colleagues;

    Especially those who hate you, or make life difficult for you

    Take care to conclude your work properly, for you do it for the Lord;

    Especially when time is precious and others depend on you.

    Bring your prayers to the Lord, day or night, whenever the need arises;

    Especially if life is tough, and you need His help all the more.

Brother, sister, friend; the Lord watches out of love.
