Thursday's Living Water

Scripture

Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul.

Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation.
1 Peter 2:11-12



Amados, os ruego como a extranjeros y peregrinos, que os abstengáis de las pasiones carnales que combaten contra el alma.

Mantened entre los gentiles una conducta irreprochable, a fin de que en aquello que os calumnian como malhechores, ellos, por razón de vuestras buenas obras, al considerarlas, glorifiquen a Dios en el día de la visitación.
1 Pedro 2:11-12




Reading - Slowly read the Scripture passage several times.


Meditation - Take some time to reflect on the words and phrases in the text. Which words, phrases or images speak to you most?


Prayer - Offer the internalized passage back to God in the form of a personalized prayer of adoration, confession, renewal, petition, intercession, affirmation, or thanksgiving.


Contemplation - What word or image captures the spirit of the passage for you?

Friday's Living Water

Scripture

You are witnesses, and so is God, how devoutly and uprightly and blamelessly we behaved toward you believers;

just as you know how we were exhorting and encouraging and imploring each one of you as a father would his own children,

so that you would walk in a manner worthy of the God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.
2 Thessalonians 2: 10-12


Dios y ustedes me son testigos de que nos comportamos con ustedes los creyentes en una forma santa, justa e irreprochable. Saben también que a cada uno de ustedes lo hemos tratado como trata un padre a sus propios hijos. Los hemos animado, consolado y exhortado a llevar una vida digna de Dios, que los llama a su reino y a su gloria.
2 Tesalonicenses 2: 10-12 (NVI
)
