'Who Will Roll Away the Stone?' β Mark 16:3
Key Thought
"Who will roll away the stone for us?" This was the question of the women who had followed Jesus. For us, the question might be: Who will balance the checkbook, service the car, mow the lawn, take care of the house, do the laundry, bake the Christmas cookies, ... On and on we could go about the practical questions that result from the death of a loved one. In the face of death, we often find ourselves with bewildering and overwhelming questions. These are practical questions. These are hard questions. These are confusing questions. Jesus' death was no different. Life goes on for those left behind in grief. More than just offering quiet and nice platitudes, let's get to work helping "roll away the stone" for each person who needs grace β let's do practical and helpful things that need doing for those who are overwhelmed with grief.
Today's Prayer
Dear God, grief comes back during the Christmas season and hits us surprisingly hard. Please be with us and help us make it through this year's Christmas with appreciation for those who have gone to be with you before us. Give us the courage to walk faithfully in their footsteps. Please provide us with the support of Christian community to help us "roll away our stone" and do the things that most need doing. And, dear Father, please use us β use me β to help those in grief in very practical ways. In Jesus' name. Amen.

'Watch Out β Word Games Are Often Mind Traps'
Today's Prayer
Lord, please help me remember that Satan uses word games to create mind traps and that these will often come from those right around me. Help me obey the laws of my land without disobeying You. Give me ears that perk up when mind traps are active around me and grant me the right responses that honor Your laws and also open the eyes of those around me to their flaws in thinking. Let others be blessed by the godly answers I give under difficult circumstances. In Jesusβ Name, Amen.
"Well then," [Jesus] said, "give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God." So they failed to trap him by what he said in front of the people. Instead, they were amazed by his answer, and they became silent.β Luke 20:25-26 NLT

You are made for greater.The battles you fight today, may you fight them no more as Affliction cannot arise for a second time. May the Lord strengthen your spirit, steady your mind, and remind you that no matter whatβs circling around, God is in control.

'Fear of not Pleasing Others Is a Deadly Trap'
Today's Prayer
Lord, deliver me from the desire of pleasing others above pleasing You. Itβs Your favor I need, Lord; itβs Your approval and blessing I desire. I praise You as Lord and Master. But I confess that Iβve often lived my daily life letting my desire for the approval of others to rank far above my desire to draw close to You or obey Your commandments. From now on, Lord, I see the safety of Your favor, Your protection, Your love. I seek the comfort of Your presence and Your whispers of truth in my spiritual ears. Let me hear Your voice and know itβs You. Let me fill my plans with Your Spirit and Your fullness. Let me know You better and Your desires for my life. In Jesusβ Name, Amen.
Fearing people is a dangerous trap, but trusting the Lord means safety. Many seek the rulerβs favor, but justice comes from the Lord.β Proverbs 29:25-26 NLT

A Call to Consistency
God wants continuity in our relationship with Him and in how we give ourselves to spiritual things. The early church did that: Acts 2:42 - And they continued steadfastly in the apostlesβ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. Here are some areas to be consistent: a) Your prayer life: In Luke 18:1-3, Jesus told them a story showing that it was necessary for them to pray consistently and never quit. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 says pray without ceasing, and we have an example in Daniel who prayed 3 times a day (Daniel 6:10).
b) The Word: Jesus said that if His words abide in us we will ask whatever we desire and it will be done for us (John 15:7). c) Service: 1 Corinthians 15:58 - Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, - always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. d) Fellowship: In Acts 2:42, the early church did not forsake their assembling together but continued steadfastly in the apostlesβ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. If we get the basics right and we stick to them on a consistent basis, there will be blessing, growth and we will flourish!
Prayer:
Father, please help me to be consistent and faithful in the place of prayer, word, service and fellowship in Jesusβ Name.
Text:Jesus told them a story showing that it was necessary for them to pray consistently and never quit⦠Luke 18:1(MSG).
