Friday, March 23
Exodus 2:1-22
Psalms 95, 107
1 Corinthians 12:27-13:3
Mark 9:2-13
Exodus 2:17-19  But some shepherds came and drove them away.  Then Moses got up and defended them and watered their flocks.  When they returned to their father Reuel, he said to them, “How is it you have returned so soon today?”  They answered, “An Egyptian saved us from the interference of the shepherds.  He even drew water for us and watered the flock!”

Psalm 95, 6-7  Come, let us bow down in worship: let us kneel before the Lord who made us.  For he is our God, and we are the people he shepherds, the flock he guides. 

Psalm 107, 15  Let them give thanks to the Lord for his kindness and his wondrous deeds to the children of men.

1 Corinthians 13:1-3  If I speak with human tongues and angelic as well, but do not have love.  I am a noisy gong, a clanging cymbal.  If I have a gift of prophecy and, with full knowledge, comprehend all mysteries, if I have faith great enough to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.  If I give everything I have to feed the poor and hand over my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Mark 9:11-12  Finally they put to him this question: “Why do the scribes claim that Elijah must come first?”  He told them: “Elijah will indeed come first and restore everything.  Yet why does Scripture say of the Son of Man that he must suffer much and be despised?

Jesus gives his life for us.  Love being the core.

What guides your daily activities?  I often get lost in simple tasks and others expectations of me. 

Do our actions have much purpose without love?

Take time to reflect.
