DAY 9: Thursday, October 9
TOPIC: Persecuted Christians
SCRIPTURE: Luke 6:27-31 “But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. Bless those that curse you. Pray for those who hurt you.”
OBSERVATION: This is a simple command to understand but difficult to live out in daily life. As a disciple of Jesus we will have enemies. It is what we do when persecuted that will make us stand out. All of these are actions: do good, bless, pray. These actions can transform the life of our enemy.
PRAYER: Father, we boldly ask in the name of Jesus that you protect our brothers and sisters who are persecuted for Your name. Let them feel Your peace wash over them as they stand for You. Give them wisdom to know how they can do good to those who are against them. Show them ways they can bless those who cast stones. Speak the words to their hearts so they can pray for the salvation of those who are lost and hurting without You. Lord, we ask that you protect them from harm and that in all things Your glory, power, and love is represented to its fullest. Amen.
