Scripture Readings:  Psalm 78:9-16, Joshua 17-19, Mark 1:21-45

Reflection Verses:  Joshua 18:8-9

Reflection:  The text records that seven tribes had not been given land grants. So, Joshua dispatched those tribes to map the land in seven parts so it can be allotted to them. This says to me, Beloved, that there is always work to be done in the kingdom. However, when a job needs to be done, God provides leadership, instruction and guidance as to how we are to do it. We are responsible for the proper and timely execution of God’s plan for the job to be completed.

Prayer:  Our Father , which art in Heaven. Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come; Thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for Thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Today, Holy Father, we thank You for those who lead us to accomplish Your will in our lives.  Thank You for allowing us to be part of Your plan… In Jesus’ name.  Amen.
