Reading: Luke 11 and Job 11-12
Scripture: Luke 11:8b, yet because of his impudence he will rise and give him whatever he needs.
Thoughts: I found it was interesting that even though they are our friends they don’t want to help but because of his shame he will get what is needed. How often do we do about only doing what will keep the shame at bay. Are we being a good gift giver and a servant or are we helping and doing out of obligation? Doing with the right heart is just as if not more important that the actual doing. Just like lighting a lamp we want to have it where it will do the most good, when we just do because of obligation and not with the proper heart the impact on others lives will be diminished. God wants to show his love through us but if we are only doing because we have to then we are not spreading the love of God we may even be spreading discontentment.
Prayers: Father you are so wonderful, each day is a gift from you. I thank you lord for the great gifts you give us. I thank you for the family that you have allowed me to be a steward of. I thank you for the blessings and provisions of this day and ask that you help us to have a proper heart and motivations in our life and our interactions with the world.
