I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR YOU

 Philippians 2:4 "Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others." ESV 
 
 
We all have things we want to get done, people we want to see, things we need to finish. So does the rest of the world. The difference for us as Christians is that we set aside our own agendas to help someone else with theirs. Jesus Christ knew when to withdraw to Himself and to be in the company with just His disciples. But, He never failed to simply stop what He was doing to tend to the lives of others.
 
 
Lord, how selfish we have become with our time, our money, our talents! Forgive us! Fill us with hearts of compassion and generosity to be moved from our own interests to help in the lives of others. In Your name we pray, Amen.

GOD BLESS THE OTHER GUY

 
 
Numbers 6:24-26

 

"The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace." ESV

 

It is a sacrificial gesture of love to ask for God to bless others. When we do this, it shows our own right relationship with the Lord and our desire to see Him bless and protect others. Ask the Lord to keep His face toward others, smiling on them in His never ending grace and mercy. Pray for the blessing of peace on them that is so rare in our times. What a beautiful way to bless and pray for each other.

 

Heavenly Father, please forgive us for always seeking Your blessings for ourselves. We confess that we are more self-centered that we want to admit. Give us Your Spirit of loving others so that we will pray Your blessings on them continually, knowing that You are already pouring out Your blessings on us. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
