Today's Verse - Galatians 6:2 (KJV)

Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

—Galatians 6:2 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

This is just another way of saying, "Love your neighbor as yourself!" Jesus came to bear our burdens and carry away the stain and pain of our sin. (Read Isaiah 53 for a powerful description of God's Suffering Servant, a passage quoted in the New Testament in reference to Jesus.) He now asks us to live redemptively, in practical ways, toward those around us. More than just praying, or asking what we can do to help, we are called to serve, minister, and assist others who are burdened.

My Prayer...​

Holy and merciful God, please give me eyes to see, a heart willing to serve, and hands ready to help the people in my path that need a burden lifted. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Yes, I am praying for those who left church and did not return again. May Jesus be with them, help them, save them and bring them back again to the fold. O Lord, please touch their hearts and minds. You know who they are and they need You today. In Jesus name. Amen

 

[Zellner]

If you know someone is not doing the right thing and is not obeying God's word, then fast and pray for that person. They need salvation and may the mercy of the Lord come to them.
