Today’s Verse:
"Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth." - Proverbs 10:4
Prayer for Today :
Heavenly Father,
Don't we love kids? While waiting for the new member to join the family, everyone will have one and only one most important thing in their minds - the naming of the little one(s). Someone will name their kids after their parents, respectable relatives, pop stars, singers, religious leaders or even Jesus!
Father, how will people know who a person is named after? Father, how will anyone know about the story behind our names? Father, as Christians, people will listen and observe our attitude and behavior but most importantly, people will really hoped to see our unreligious acts! Father, we are Christians, we bare Your name, Your reputation, Your all and everything, may we be as upright, as loving and as caring as possible.
Father, sometimes, we are not lazy at all, we may work very hard and lost our money in the stock market. We may use our diligent hands to serve others, instead of making wealth.
Father, as Francis of Assisi says "Grant me the treasure of sublime poverty: permit the distinctive sign of our order to be that it does not possess anything of its own beneath the sun, for the glory of your name, and that it have no other patrimony than begging."
Father, search us and know our serving hearts.
In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.
