PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION

PSALM 128

128:1 Happy is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways.
128:2 You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be happy, and it shall go well with you.
128:3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table.
128:4 Thus shall the man be blessed who fears the LORD.
128:5 The LORD bless you from Zion. May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
128:6 May you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel!

ABUNDANT HEALTH

Unnaturally Made
My child, hold on to wisdom and good sense. Don’t let them out of your sight. Proverbs 3:21 (NCV)

Do something great for your health this week. Avoid factory-made science projects with weird and strange molecules that haven’t been made by God in nature. Many common food additives cause everything from uncontrollable hunger and binge eating (blame MSG), to headaches, allergies, and damage to your gut. How do you avoid them? Start reading the ingredient lists on food labels. Check a label for less than five ingredients or for only ingredients that you recognize as real food. If you can’t pronounce it or don’t know what it is, stay away.

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING

Majestic God, we are amazed that you count us among your children. You have adopted us as brothers and sisters of Christ your Son. Open our eyes to see every human being as your beloved child. Send your Spirit to guide us to live as citizens of your heavenly kingdom. We ask this for the sake of Jesus, our risen Savior. Amen.
