DAILY SHOWER February 19, 2023 Devotion and Declarations
Prayer before the Word:
_ O God, I thank You for yet another day. I magnify Your name because You are my God and all I have. Please, use me according to Your will and prosper me in Jesus name, Amen_
TODAY’S TOPIC: Your faith will speak for you
Text: Luke 7:42-50 (NIV):
"7:41. Two men owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
7:42. Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he canceled the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?"
7:43. Simon replied, "I suppose the one who had the bigger debt canceled." "You have judged correctly," Jesus said.
7:44. Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
7:45. You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet.
7:46. You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet.
7:47. Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven--for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little."
7:48. Then Jesus said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
7:49. The other guests began to say among themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?"
7:50. Jesus said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."
SHOWER (Reflection):
Do not be bothered over what people do or say about you or your situation. Let us always approach God with faith. A woman of Pharisee that approached Jesus and was weeping, crying and showing remorse to her sins entails what God expected from us. She embarked on this journey not minding that people may reject or castigate her. And that day eventually became her day of answered prayers. Our God will hear your prayers today and restore your lost glory as you go out today ...in Jesus name, Amen.
