PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION

Prepare our hearts, O God, to accept your Word. Silence in us any voices but your own, so that we may hear your Word and also do it; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
 

Psalm 85:8-13

85:8 Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his faithful, to those who turn to him in their hearts.
85:9 Surely his salvation is at hand for those who fear him, that his glory may dwell in our land.
85:10 Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will kiss each other.
85:11 Faithfulness will spring up from the ground, and righteousness will look down from the sky.
85:12 The LORD will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase.
85:13 Righteousness will go before him, and will make a path for his steps.

ABUNDANT HEALTH

Loosen Up
For in him we live and move and have our being. Acts 17:28 (NIV)

Simple tip of the day: Regular loosening, or stretching, activities throughout your day or before or after your workout can have a significant impact on your health, fitness, flexibility, and performance. Take 5 minutes to add it to your routine, and while you’re at it, thank God for your body.
—Exercise Physiologist Sean Foy

We dedicate our gifts so that our community will draw closer to you. Amen.
