Devotions for week of July 12

Posted on Sun, Jul 12, 2015:

Begin by reading the invocation. Read the assigned Psalm for the week once or twice and take a few moments to center yourself on God, relaxing and paying close attention to your breathing. Pray for yourself and others, allowing time for God to place others in your thoughts. Read the day's assigned Scripture slowly and reflectively, perhaps more than once, taking time to allow thoughts and images to form in your mind. Reflect on the Scripture, perhaps writing in your journal. Close with the benediction.

Invocation:

O Lord Jesus, who comes always seeking a bride without spot or wrinkle, grant that we may prepare ourselves to welcome you as our faithful groom. O glorious union. Amen.

Psalm 46

Sunday: Mark 6: 7-13

Monday: Isaiah 55: 1-13

Tuesday:  Isaiah 1: 10-17

Wednesday: Isaiah 1: 21-26

Thursday: Romans 15: 1-13

Friday: Ephesians 4: 1-16

Saturday: John 17: 20-26

Benediction:  My Lord, you once said many are called to enter your kingdom but few are chosen. Help me today to hear your call -- and to so live as to be numbered among the few who enter into the fullness of your love. Amen.
