June 10th- Let's Play!

Theme of the Day
Notice how we enter into the wilderness.

Readings of the Day
Romans 15.1-13-Put up with each other. May the strong help the weak.
1 Samuel 27-28-Feed all of God's people, the good and the bad.
Psalm 70-God is great so love your salvation.
Hosea 8.11-14; 10.1-2-Be true to God. Repent and turn to Him for salvation.

God's Word of the Day
See My salvation that I freely have given to you. Now go into the wilderness of life and love Me and others likewise.

Story of the Day
The team was confident in victory that evening. The pitching was phenomenal. The hitting was consistent and the fielding was flawless. But then it happened. An earthquake had struck the area and damaged the freeway surrounding San Francisco. People were dead in the tragedy. Suddenly the fans, the players, the officials and everyone involved with the game of baseball had much more on their minds than a game. All the people in the stadium were safe but those surrounding the stadium were in need of help. An announcement came over the speakers that the game was suspended and a plea to exit calmly but quickly was made. As the crowd emptied, some were more concerned for their own safety. But there were many who saw the need surrounding the stadium and sprang into action helping in anyway they could with the resources available. Notice how we enter into the wilderness. Notice how we respond in love. Or do we respond?

Prayer of the Day
Lord, teach me, lead me, show me how to respond to those in need in the wilderness. May I reflect Your love and compassion this day. ---Amen
