Daily Dose of God's Word For 6-6
Memory Verse: Instead, be filled with the Spirit Ephesians 5:18
Read John 17:6-19
Who does Jesus pray for in the second part of His prayer? (17:6–19)
The erratic nature of the transformation journey requires patience and perseverance. I appreciate the story of the peasant woman who passed by a monk while walking in the village street. She fell prostrate before him and asked him, “Please tell me, holy father, what do you men of God do up there in the monastery on the hill? It appears that you are so close to heaven. How do you spend your time and hours?” The humble and wise monk responded simply. “What do we do up there in the monastery so close to heaven? I will tell you. We fall down and we get up! We fall down and get up! We fall down and get up!” How typically this pattern mirrors the transforming journey we undertake when we become Christ-followers.
Come, Holy Spirit.
We pray that your fruit would be in us:
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Amen
