1. Philippians 2:1-2 NASB “Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.” Father, just as Paul wrote to encourage a new church, these verses encourage us today to pursue unity in ministry. Help us to show compassion, love and care for hurting people. Teach us to live outside our comfort zones. Lead us as a body to share Christ with a lost world.

2. Psalm 72: 18-19 NASB “Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who alone works wonders. And blessed be His glorious name forever; And may the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen.” Father God, You allow us to witness Your working in our world. You perform wonders to numerous to count each day and Your ways are perfect. We praise You!
