I missed posting last week--at our Conference Ministers' Convocation in beautiful and snowy Lake Junaluska.
This Sunday marks the 6th Sunday after Epiphany. Our readings for this week include 1 Corinthians 9.24-27, where Paul uses the illustration of athletic competetion to discuss the discipline needed in the practice of the Christian faith; Mark 1.40-45, Jesus heals a leper and Psalm 30, to which Eric has attached a response, I Exalt Thee.
Here is a prayer for the day:
Almighty God, in our worship we exalt your name and your faithfulness. Grant that we may run the race of faith with self-control and discipline, in order to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit: One God. Amen.
