Good Morning, Ministry Partner!

June 4, 2019

Be Encouraged by God's Word
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
    Worship the Lord with gladness;
    come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.
    It is he who made us, and we are his;
    we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

— Psalm 100:1-3, NIV

Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims

Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.

— W. T. Purkiser

Pray Together with Us

O God, when I have food,
   help me to remember the hungry;
When I have work,
   help me to remember the jobless;
When I have a home,
   help me to remember those who have no home at all;
When I am without pain,
   help me to remember those who suffer,
And remembering,
   help me to destroy my complacency; bestir my compassion,
   and be concerned enough to help;
By word and deed, those who cry out for what we take for granted.
Amen.

— Samuel F. Pugh
