Scripture | 1 Peter 4:1-2,7-19 (BSFL*) | Translation | NIV |
What God said to me | The end is near. Are you ready? You will need to have a clear mind and be self-controlled so that you can be fervent in prayer. Demonstrate love toward others as I have demonstrated it toward you. Do not hesitate to be hospitable. Use the gifts I have given you to demonstrate My grace to others through service to them. In all that you do and say bring praise and glorify Me. |
What I said to God | All of my life I have been preparing for the end, yet I am painfully aware that until we (humans) are actually in a particular situation we do not really know how we will respond. For this reason, I have often wondered myself whether or not I am ready. How will I respond? Will I cling to You or will I fall apart? Take me – heart, mind, body, soul. Permeate my being. May every breath I breathe in living, suffering, and dying be a breath that praises and glorifies you. |
