PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION

Timeless One, you create all moments of our lives, giving each its meaning and purpose.

Strengthen us to seek your wisdom and lead through service as Jesus taught.

Open our thinking to understand others as much as we seek to understand ourselves. AMEN.

  

Psalm 16

16:1 Protect me, O God, for in you I take refuge.

16:2 I say to the LORD, "You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you."

16:3 As for the holy ones in the land, they are the noble, in whom is all my delight.

16:4 Those who choose another god multiply their sorrows; their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out or take their names upon my lips.

16:5 The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot.

16:6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; I have a goodly heritage.

16:7 I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me.

16:8 I keep the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices; my body also rests secure.

16:10 For you do not give me up to Sheol, or let your faithful one see the Pit.

16:11 You show me the path of life. In your presence there is fullness of joy; in your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

ABUNDANT HEALTH

Move a Little

Love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. Deuteronomy 6:5 (NCV)

  

Want to know the quickest simplest way to begin to improve your health and fitness? You don’t even have to get sweaty. You don’t have to put on gym clothes. You don’t have to lift weights or even get a gym membership. Begin to boost your metabolism, energy, creativity, fitness, and health by performing simple movements throughout your day. For just 1 to 2 minutes every hour of your day, move your body by stretching, walking, squatting, lunging, twisting. With each repetition, thank God for a strong, healthy body and the ability to move.

—Exercise Physiologist Sean Foy

  

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING

Holy Creator: we bring our gifts to you this morning, worried about what the future might bring. Because we live in hope, we give in hope trusting in your promise. May the gift of life we receive this morning be in turn a gift of service for the divine purpose of building Heaven on Earth. This we pray in that holy name Jesus Christ who teaches us how to live with purpose. Amen.
