Matthew 24:20
Travel in the winter would be quite inconvenient. Also, travel on the Sabbath might be a hindrance to the Jews, or Jewish and Gentile Christians. They would not want to go that far on that day, and thus would hesitate at first to set out.
Bible Reading: Nehemiah 5:1-7:73
Scripture Memory: James 3:2 “For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.”
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You Lord for giving us Sunday. Though we don’t seem to know what to do with it sometimes, we are glad that You have taught us to set aside this day. I love to reflect upon You and praise You every day. But, it is wonderful to have a day out of the week where we can have the time to really spend time with You and with each other. Being able to praise You together is a great joy, though we often miss it. Father, help us to see the wonder of You again in our lives. Give us again the power of Your Spirit in our meetings. Make us able to live through the week such that Sunday will be the celebration of what has happened rather than an anticipation of what should happen. We love You Lord! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
Prayer Requests: Pray for my Dad. Pray for a family that just lost a loved one. Pray for a family that needs a new home.
