The Works of God
God so loved the world that He gave You, Jesus, His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in You should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send You into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through You. (John 3:16–17)
Jesus, You have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in You should not stay in darkness. You do not judge those who hear Your words but do not keep them, for You did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. (John 12:46–47)
Take a moment to consider the greatness of God’s wonderful works.

If I have been united with You, O Christ, in the likeness of Your death, I will certainly also be united with You in the likeness of Your resurrection. (Romans 6:5)

The Character I Want to Cultivate
When pride comes, then comes dishonor, but with humility comes wisdom.
(Proverbs 11:2)
The proud will be humbled and the lofty will be brought low; You alone, O Lord, will be exalted. (Isaiah 2:11)
Take a moment to ask the Lord for the grace to grow in godly character.
My Relationship to Others
Is this not the fast You have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the cords of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free and break every yoke? Is it not to share our food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter; When we see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from our own flesh? Then our light will break forth like the dawn, and our healing will quickly appear, and our righteousness will go before us; Your glory, O Lord, will be our rear guard. Then we will call, and You will answer; We will cry, and You will say, “Here I am.” If we put away the yoke from our midst, the pointing of the finger and malicious talk, and if we extend our souls to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then our light will rise in the darkness, and our gloom will become like the noonday.
(Isaiah 58:6–10)
I must help the weak and remember Your words, Lord Jesus, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35)
Pause to review your relationships with others and to commit them to the Lord.
