Be Encouraged by God's Word
The Israelite overseers realized they were in trouble when they were told, “You are not to reduce the number of bricks required of you for each day. Moses returned to the Lord and said, “Why, Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Is this why you sent me? Ever since I went to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble on this people, and you have not rescued your people at all.” Then the Lord said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh: Because of my mighty hand he will let them go; because of my mighty hand he will drive them out of his country.”

- Exodus 5:19–6:1, NIV

Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims
The quiet power of a life transformed by the grace of God is so explosive that it can redirect the course of human events.

- Richard Foster

Pray Together with Us
Jesus, you called me to the ministry from the noisy wranglings of the law courts and the daunting responsibilities of public administration. In my former life I pursued my own interests, without thought of you. But you decided that you could re-shape me to be of service to you and your Church. You forgave my sins, and made me what I am. I was a lost soul when you called me; help me not to become a lost minister as well.

- Ambrose of Milan
