Today’s Scripture Threshing for Sunday, June 9, 2019
Today’s Text: Mark 9:38-41
Key Verses: Mark 9:41 (ESV): “For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ will by no means lose his reward.”
God is moved by our great, splashy and public acts of service done in genuine devotion to, and love for, Him. But, by this assertion, Jesus let’s us learn that He is as moved, and reward, our unsung acts of genuine Christian devotion. They may be so simple and easily forgettable as giving a thirsty saint a cup of water; but God will not forget it.
To prove the depth of our love for the Savior who dies for us, we do not have to be martyred or tormented for our faith; but we all must die daily to self. He wants us to pour live our lives serving the kingdom interest in the smallest possible ways.
Quote for the Day: “Genuine love for Christ is not about public service rendered in the open, but it is obligatory for us to covertly care for those whom Christ cares about.” (Simon Olatunji)
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, help me to live like your blessed and gracious Son, who loves and touches all men including those who are unlovable. Amen.
With all my love and prayer,
