First Samuel 11

The people of Jabesh-gilead told Saul
that the Ammonites were threatening them.

The spirit of the Lord stirred up Saul
and he led the Israelites to a great victory over the Ammonites.

Samuel and all the people then went to Gilgal
where Saul was again proclaimed king

Dear Lord, may your Spirit stir us up to do good things


Psalm 98

Sing a new song to the Lord for he has worked wonders.
His right hand has brought salvation.

The Lord has made known his salvation.
He has shown his justice to the nations.

He has remembered his truth and love 
for the house of Israel.

All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
Shout to the Lord all the earth, ring out your joy.

Sing psalms to the Lord with the harp,
with the sound of music.

Let the sea, the world and all peoples
acclaim the King, the Lord.

Let the rivers clap their hands
and the hills ring out their joy

at the presence of the Lord, 
for he comes to rule the earth.

He will rule the world with justice
and the peoples with fairness.

Lord, may all peoples in all countries 
know your love and goodness


Philippians 3

I am not yet perfect. I have not yet won the race.
But I am still running,
trying to capture the prize for which Christ Jesus captured me

I forget the past, and strain ahead for what is still to come.
I am racing for the finish,
for the prize to which God calls us to receive in Christ Jesus

Jesus, please help me keep running each day!


Luke 6

Jesus said to the people

"Love your enemies. Do good to people who hate you.
Pray for people who are unkind to you.
Treat others as you would like them to treat you

Be compassionate as your heavenly Father is compassionate.
Do not judge, and you will not be judged.
Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned

Grant pardon, and you will be pardoned.
Give, and there will be gifts for you.
The amount you measure out is the amount you will be given back"

Jesus, bless (..name..) who was unkind to me
