20 Jun 2 Kings 11:17 (encouragement)
Posted on Friday 20 June, 2008
* Welcome God every morning before work by taking ~5 min to read this Living In Faith Exchange (LIFE) Group devotion (life-devotions.blogspot.com), which has snippets from Living Faith (livingfaith.com).
Then Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lord as one party and the king and the people as the other, by which they would be the Lord’s people; and another covenant, between the king and the people. 2 Kings 11:17
Living Faith snippets: “All of us together, lay and clergy, are the Body of Christ, committed to Jesus’ Gospel in loving covenant through the Sacraments. Shouldn’t I be committed to you in prayer by honest, kind and encouraging words? Shouldn’t I, in all things, be trying to make it easier for you to be faithful to your covenant with God? Jesus, Savior, keep me aware today of how my words and actions can help others follow you better.” by Fr. James Krings

Wayne Watson lyrics, “When God’s people pray, there is hope reborn, there is sin forgiven, and miracles you can’t explain await!” “If you pray that God will move a mountain and He doesn’t, assume Christ wants you to climb it instead & see Him.”
* Defend the unborn: ‘Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to death; don’t stand back and let them die’ (Prov 24:11). ‘Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you’ (Jer 1:5). ‘It is a great poverty that a child must die that you might live as you wish’ Blessed Mother Teresa.

* Evangelization: Let’s make room for non-believers (be a friend, make a friend, lead friend to Christ) and perpetual re-evangelization of self and those near us, by way of daily prayer (relationship) and following Christ’s example of selfless love, mercy, and service.
Let’s joyfully live out the Good News and gladly tell others about it (Mark 16:15)!
