Psalm 89:1-4 The Message

  Your love, God, is my song, and I’ll sing it! I’m forever telling everyone how faithful you are.
  I’ll never quit telling the story of your love-
    how you built the cosmos
    and guaranteed everything in it.
  Your love has always been our lives’ foundation,
    your fidelity has been the roof over our world.
  You once said, “I joined forces with my chosen leader,
    I pledged my word to my servant, David, saying,
  ‘Everyone descending from you is guaranteed life;
    I’ll make your rule as solid and lasting as rock.’”

Midday Prayer

O Jesus, our great high priest,
be present with us
as you were present with your disciples,
and make yourself known to us in the breaking of bread.
Amen.

Matthew 6:19-24 NIV

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

Ephesians 6:10-11 NIV

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.  Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.
