Scripture Readings:  Psalm 3, Genesis 5-6, Matthew 3
Reflection Verses:  Genesis 6:5-8
Reflection:  Beloved, The Word of God records that the people who lived on the earth were so evil that there was no way for them to repent. God was unable to reach them because every thought or intent they had was toward evil. Still, how wonderful it is to know that God is reaching out to us even when our conduct and hearts are set on evil.

Prayer:  Holy Father, have mercy on me!  I am in need of Your grace continually in my life! I yield my thoughts and heart to You and I seek Your favor and grace. Thank You for loving me enough to grant me grace and favor even when I deserve otherwise… In Jesus’ Name.  Amen!
