Scripture Readings:  Psalm 82, Judges 10-11, Mark 6:30-56

Reflection Verses:  Judges 10:15-16

Reflection:  In the text, the people of God repented from their sins, put away their foreign gods and promised to serve God. They asked God to deliver them in their time of distress from their enemies. And once again, God relented and rescued them. Beloved, God is faithful even when we are not. Think about that.

Prayer:  Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for being our God. Thank You for never casting us away from you. Help us to understand, Dear Lord, that we are to keep our focus on You, Lord God, to worship and serve You only. Help us to know also, Lord, that when and if we fail, we are to repent, ask Your forgiveness and move on in our relationship. Thank You for Your love, mercy, and the opportunity to serve You and love You… In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
