“Whenever you enter someone’s home, first say, ‘May God’s peace be on this house.’ If those who live there are peaceful, the blessing will stand; if they are not, the blessing will return to you.”
Luke 10:5-6, (NLT)
The end of verse 6, reminds us that although our desire is to see everyone receive Christ, many will reject Him. This may be difficult for us to accept, but we must remember that we are not responsible for the results. We have all been given the freewill to decide, and unfortunately, many will discard the truth of the gospel and turn their backs on God. Today, pray that God will use us to clearly present the gospel to those who are lost, and ask Him to open the eyes and ears of those who hear the Good News so they may respond positively to the Holy Spirit’s prompting. Finally, for those who reject Him, pray that God will continue to send people into their lives who will point them to the Truth.
Prayerfully,
Madison

Our ultimate purpose in life is to glorify God and spread the good news of the gospel. Our desire is for our “blessing to stand.” We have received forgiveness of our sins and the blessing of salvation. We understand the life-changing power found through Jesus Christ and the indescribable peace offered through the Holy Spirit. Today, praise God for His saving grace and eternal life made possible through the death, burial, and resurrection of His Son, Jesus. Plead with God for the souls of those who are lost, and fervently ask that they open their hearts to the Holy Spirit.
