Daily Word Of God

Matthew 10:7-13

Jesus said to his apostles, ‘As you go, proclaim that the kingdom of heaven is close at hand. Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils. You received without charge, give without charge. Provide yourselves with no gold or silver, not even with a few coppers for your purse, with no haversack for the journey or spare tunic or footwear or a staff, for the workman deserves his keep.

‘Whatever town or village you go into, ask for someone trustworthy and stay with him until you leave. As you enter his house, salute it, and if the house deserves it, may your peace descend upon it; if it does not, let your peace come back to you.’

Today's Pointers on God's Word

As you read the passage what words, phases or meanings caught your attention?

  • Do not worry about what you need. Have complete Trust in God and He will provide!

 

  • By this, Our Lord does not mean that you need not worry about your daily necessities, but we should have a firm focus on serving God’s Kingdom.

 

  • Once we are firmly focused on living our lives for God, we will not be too particular about what people think of us. Instead, we will find fulfillment simply  in serving God’s people.  Speak to the Lord about your desire to serve Him.
