Scripture Readings:  Proverbs 30:24-33, Haggai 1-2, Revelation 18:11-24
Reflection Verse:  Proverbs 30:24-28
Reflection:  Beloved, God, has given all living creatures the ability to live out their destiny. Even the smallest creatures have the wisdom to survive and thrive, often leaving us humans seeking understanding. You and I, and all of mankind, have been created by God, with more intelligence and ability than any other created thing that occupy the earth. That says to me, that God wants us to productive and to live life to the fullest, that we may bring Him glory.

Prayer:  Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for the many gifts that You have given me to live a full and productive life. I am mindful that you expect more from me than the animals and creeping things. So please Lord, open my heart and mind to the abilities that I have, that I may live my life to its fullest, doing more than just surviving but totally enjoying Your presence and strength in my life… In Jesus’ Name.  Amen.
