Catch Up Day Psalms 80
“A church that suffers no persecution but enjoys the privileges and support of the things of the earth — beware! — is not the true church of -Jesus Christ.

A preaching that makes sinners feel good so that they are secured in their sinful state, betrays the gospel’s call.” (Oscar Romero)

Thank You for those who bridge the gap by loving, nurturing and caring for the vulnerable. We need You always, but at times we experience it more tenderly. Help us all trust that Christ our Savior is present with redemptive power and sufficient grace so we humbly turn to Him for our every need. In the Name of Christ, amen. (Adah Hutchcraft)

Memory Verse In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1 NASB
Ezra 5-6 Psalms 77
The Sabbath is a time we suspend dominion work and instead worship the dominion maker. We cease reaping for our own cupboards and instead bring an offering to Him. The Sabbath rest is not simply the pause: it is the essence. We rest not because we are tired. We cease our labor not because it is finished. We worship not because there are now grapes on the vine and cattle in the stalls. We rest and worship one day in seven simply because He is Lord. Dr. Richard Swenson A Minute of Margin Reflection 22
Be still and know I am God.
