Deuteronomy 9:1-10:11; Ecclesiastes 11:1-:14; Luke 9:1-17
Should ye not hear the words which the Lord hath cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, when men inhabited the south and the plain? Zechariah 7:7
Prosperity often makes people complacent in their abundance, setting the things of God aside. Heartfelt devotion becomes mere lip service. May our Lord deliver us from being bound to petty, material things, so that we can “trade up” for those eternal riches which are already ours. —Rick Morse
Let none of you idly say,
“There is nothing I can do”.
While the souls of men are dying,
And the Master calls for you. —Daniel March
