Bitterness of Stolen Sweets
April 21, 2024
As a church committed to praying for one another, we post this daily reminder we can all use for that purpose. It contains links to a Bible reading that if followed daily will have taken you through the entire Bible by this time next year, devotional thoughts from Our Daily Bread, and the passage upon which those thoughts are based, with a prayer inspired by that passage. We hope you will find it helpful!
Bible in a Year: 2 Samuel 12-13; Luke 16
Today’s Our Daily Bread: Bitterness of Stolen Sweets | Our Daily Bread (odb.org)
Devotional Passage: Proverbs 20:11-17
Prayer: We thank You, Lord God, for the reminder that we are known by our actions; that sight and sound are gifts from You. Deliver us from any temptations to slumber at the cost of fruitful production, cheat those from whom we buy, speak foolishly, make unsecured guarantees for strangers, or defraud anyone in any way whatsoever to gain what we want. Please grace us with discernment, discretion, and wisdom to turn whatever we see and hear into opportunities to say and do whatever will redound to the praise of Your glory, and that of Your Beloved Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, in Whose Name we pray. Amen.
