PASSAGE: Favoritism Forbidden, Faith and Deeds
MEMORY VERSE: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
NOTES: (v.5) "Listen, my dear brothers. Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him? But you have insulted the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court? Are they not the ones who are slandering the noble name of him to whom you belong?"
(v.13) "Mercy triumphs over judgment!"
(v.14) "What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?"
(v.18) "But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what i do. You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that--and shudder."
ACT OF LOVE: Today, I was walking into the gated community that I live in and saw that someone was approaching the gate, going out. I waited for her to come and held the door open to her! She smiled and thanked me enthusiastically :)
ALSO, for the Daniel Fast my friend Patricia graciously brought me a delicious bowl of whole-grain pasta and tomato sauce :) and a plum. IT WAS DEEELICIOUS!!
Also, for dinner I had baked yams.
