Bible Verse of the Day[Galatians 5:6 (NIV)]

Today's Verse


For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.



Thoughts on Today's Verse...

What matters most? Priorities must be valued disciplines in our everyday lives if we are to be successful and productive. This is equally true in our discipleship. We should want to concentrate on what is key, essential, and most important. Paul reminds us what is essential: Faith showing itself in loving actions. Faith that does not show itself in loving and helpful action is dead (James 2). Jesus wants our faith to express itself in vibrant and loving service.


My Prayer...

Almighty God, please forgive me for the times I have lost sight of what is essential and focused on what is peripheral. Please forgive me for the times when my own interests and concerns were more important to me than loving service to others. Please give me eyes to see the people you would have me serve today, and each day, so that others may know of Jesus' love through my actions and words. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
