Our Discipleship Thought, Prayer and Scripture Memory Verse for the Week. (July 1, 2009) First our Scripture. Psalm 149:4, "The Lord takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with Salvation." [ESV]. Second our Discipleship Thought. How do God's People bring pleasure to God? God's People bring pleasure to God by being humble. What does it mean to be humble? It simply means to be completely depended upon the Lord for life and for living, in thinking and in talking, in doing and in resting. To be humble means to seek the favor of God, to seek the Kingdom of God, to glorify the name of God. To be humble means to let the Lord and the Lord alone be front and center in our lives and in our living. And when the Lord is front and center in our lives and in our living, we will enjoy the Salvation of God in all things known and unknown, visible and invisible, in things and situations today and in things and in happenings to come." Bring Pleasure to God revealed to us through Jesus Christ our Lord today by being humble! Third our Prayer. Heavenly Father, I praise, I magnify and I bless Your Holy name. This I ask. Let my first thought today be of You, let my first impulse be to worship You, let my first speech be Your name, and, let my first action be to kneel before you in prayer and seek You, Your Kingdom and Your glory. In Jesus name. Amen & Amen. "Again, I pray, Lord, as You have been the Refuge of our fathers and mothers, be our refuge today in all time and circumstances. Be our Guide through all that is dark and doubtful. Be our guard against all that threatens the Holy Spirit's welfare in us and through us. Be our Strength in time of trials and test's and temptations and bring us through triumphantly. Fill us today with Your Joy and let Your Peace rule and reign in us through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen & Amen. Bring Pleasure to God today in your life and in your living! Fr. Desmond C. Francis+ Rector, CTK parish.
