Oren también por mí para que, cuando hable, Dios me dé las palabras para dar a conocer con valor el *misterio del evangelio, por el cual soy embajador en cadenas. Oren para que lo proclame valerosamente, como debo hacerlo.

Scripture –

We urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone.

See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another and for all people.

Rejoice always;

pray without ceasing;

in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

Sunday (March 16) Living Water

Scripture-

1"Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

19"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,

33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

(A selection of verses from Matthew 6. Jesus is still speaking. Which we began when we looked at Matthew 5)

Wednesday's Living Water

Have you tried this? After you have read the passage quietly, slowly, try putting it in a personalized prayer. Place your name right there in the midst of His Word. It may seem difficult at first. It may also bring areas we need to take a look at with His guidance. His Word changes our heart, it changes our walk.

Scripture-

Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying.
