Devotions for week of Nov. 1

Posted on Sat, Oct 31, 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: Our God, you dressed yourself in the tattered garments of our human nature, that we might dress ourselves with your divine ways. HJelp us, therefore, to wear our human frailties with the dignity and resolve of those who are the earthly cradles of the nature of God. Amen.

Psalm: Psalm 4

Daily Scripture Readings:

Sunday: Mark 12: 28-34

Monday: Romans 8: 1-17

Tuesday: 2 Timothy 1: 1-14

Thursday: Romans 14: 1-21

Benediction: Thank you, Lord Jesus, for this time together. I have rejoiced to feel again your life and spirit overlaying and changing my own. Hold me to yourself today as the groom holds his willing bride. Amen.
