Psalm 19:4 (Our Message) by Jason Peters

Welcome God now with this LIFE Group Devotion (FB), provided by LIFE Runners (FB). Guest Authors schedule. LIFE Minute radio.

"Their message goes out through all the earth." ~ Psalm 19:4 (full readings)

Jason's Reflections:

Are we sending the right message? I think it is important for us to ask ourselves this from time to time. I remember back to high school where I learned the phrase, “you may be the only Bible someone ever reads.” It’s a concept that has always stuck with me. While I know I’m not perfect, I believe it is a concept that helps guide my actions and reactions in many situations. During a recent long run while wearing my LIFE Runners jersey, I thought about the powerful message I carried with me. On the jersey front is Christ's Holy Cross with the Holy Spirit dove, and on the jersey back is "REMEMBER The Unborn Jer 1:5.” In anything we do as Christians, we need to be aware of the message that goes out from us…through all the earth!

Faith Challenge: Be a “Bible” for someone today. Show others the message of Christ…especially for someone who may not make it easy for you.

Our Prayers: Prayer to end abortion, Spiritual Adoption, Alpha Center, Peters family (JP). Add Prayers on our website. Pray with meals, bedtime, wake up, LIFE Runners, etc. Consider mid-week Family Rosary (17 min). Let’s pray now.

Feast Day: St. Matthew tells us the Lord commanded, “Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself.” May we pray for the wisdom to follow this command from Jesus.

Faith Quote: "Good example is the most efficacious apostolate. You must be as lighted lanterns and shine like brilliant chandeliers among men. By your good example and your words, animate others to know and love God." ~ St. Mary Joseph Rossello

Through Christ our Lord,
Jason
Heb 4:16

* Pray/Fast: Prayer connects us with God’s will & His miracles, changing us & helping others. Fast from things that take your eyes off Jesus. Those who pray together stay together, and close to God!
* Save Unborn (& family): Abortion reality (images)…#1 death cause (22% pregnancies). Prov 24:11 & Jer 1:5. “A great poverty that a child must die that you might live as you wish.” Mother Teresa.
* Evangelize: Make room for unbelievers & re-evangelization of self, by way of prayer (relationship) and following Christ’s example of love (service/sacrifice/mercy). Matt 28:19.
