1 Peter 2 : 17-25
KJV


17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood.
Fear God. Honour the king.
18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear;
not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
19 For this is thankworthy,
if a man for conscience toward God endure grief,
suffering wrongfully.
20 For what glory is it, if,
when ye be buffeted for your faults,
ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well,
and suffer for it, ye take it patiently,
this is acceptable with God.
21 For even hereunto were ye called:
because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example,
that ye should follow his steps:
22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
23 Who, when he was reviled,
reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not;
but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
24 Who his own self bare our sins
in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins,
should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
25 For ye were as sheep going astray;
but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.





Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

We thank You that Your voice reaches our hearts
and that we can say with joy,
"We belong to You. We too are Yours."
We want to lead lives that show we belong to You,
never allowing ourselves to be sidetracked,
never again giving way to pettiness,
always drawing strength from the power of Jesus Christ.
Protect our household.
Watch over each of us.
Protect us all on our way. O mighty God,
be with us in the many dangers that surround us,
and grant that we may always be joyful
because our names are recorded in heaven."


In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
