Wednesday's Living Water

Scripture –

Seeing the people, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd.
Matthew 9: 36



Y viendo las multitudes, tuvo compasión de ellas, porque estaban angustiadas y abatidas como ovejas que no tienen pastor.
Mateo 9: 36




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?

Saturday's Living Water

Scripture –

"For the mountains may be removed and the hills may shake,
But My lovingkindness will not be removed from you,
And My covenant of peace will not be shaken,"
Says the LORD who has compassion on you.
Isaiah 54:10



Porque los montes serán quitados y las colinas temblarán,
pero mi misericordia no se apartará de ti,
y el pacto de mi paz no será quebrantado
--dice el SEÑOR, que tiene compasión de ti.
Isaias 54:10

Wednesday's Living Water

Scripture –

Seeing the people, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd.

Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.

"Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest."
Matthew 9: 36-38




Al ver a las multitudes, tuvo compasión de ellas, porque estaban agobiadas y desamparadas, como ovejas sin pastor. La cosecha es abundante, pero son pocos los obreros —les dijo a sus discípulos—. Pídanle, por tanto, al Señor de la cosecha que envíe obreros a su campo.
Mateo 9: 36-38 (NVI)

Tuesday's Living Water

Scripture –

Be gracious to me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness;
According to the greatness of Your compassion blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity
And cleanse me from my sin.
For I know my transgressions,
And my sin is ever before me.
Against You, You only, I have sinned
And done what is evil in Your sight,
So that You are justified when You speak
And blameless when You judge.
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity
And in sin my mother conceived me.
Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being,
And in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom.
Psalm 51: 1-6
