SImple Thoughts...November 1

“Be dressed, ready for service, and have your lamps shining."
(Luke 12:35 NCV)
 
Preparation is an important aspect of service. In today's text, Jesus calls his followers to prepare themselves, to be dressed and ready, with the light of Christ going before them.  Sounds like a great way to begin the day!
 
Prayer: I want to be ready, Lord...ready to serve.  May your light shine brightly, empowering each next step. Amen.
 
Jim Abernathy
 
Friends, this is the last of our daily "simple thoughts".  Over these last four weeks we have focused on themes of praise, gratitude, humility, and service. It is my prayer that these daily thoughts have encouraged your walk with the Lord.  As Elder Joseph Brackett wrote, "Tis a gift to be simple..."  May the simple truths of God's love continue to guide your every step.
