Matthew 10: 16-23
Jesus said to his Apostles: "Behold, I am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and simple as doves. But beware of men, for they will hand you over to courts and scourge you in their synagogues, and you will be led before governors and kings for my sake as a witness before them and the pagans. When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say. You will be given at that moment what you are to say. For it will not be you who speak but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. Brother will hand over brother to death, and the father his child; children will rise up against parents and have them put to death. You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in one town, flee to another. Amen, I say to you, you will not finish the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes."
Dawg's Thought:
Today's prayer intention -
Lord, for those moments in my life
when I feel like I am a sheep in the midst of wolves,
remind me of Your promises.
Remind me of those who had the courage to remain faithful to You
as they were being stoned or fed to the lions.
Remind me of those who had little education
yet were able to speak profound truths.
Remind me of those who did miraculous things
such as making water suspend in the air
and drinking poison and surviving.
Most of all, Lord,
remind me that all these things were from You
so that I may have the faith allow you to continue
to do great things.
Take care and God Bless.
