Scripture Reading
Genesis 2:3
And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

Inspiration
We can't imagine the work and planning God devoted as He created this beautiful world. On the seventh day, God rested. After putting forth a hard day's labor, we are also encouraged to rest. Our earthly bodies need time to restore themselves and rejuvenate, so we return to work physically and mentally refreshed. Rest allows us to remain alert and ready to put forth the best effort in our work, school, or home environment.

Prayer
Dear God, Please help us understand it is acceptable to rest; so our bodies remain rejuvenated and refreshed for future endeavors. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Scripture Reading
Mark 2:16
And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?

Inspiration
As Christians, we must always remain humble. We are sinners just like everyone else, and Christ died for all of us. Sometimes, we look down on others and feel our morals are of a higher standard. We unintentionally think more highly of ourselves and forget that all sins are equal and we are no better than anyone else. Jesus met people where they were; He did not wait for them to come to Him. We must live according to His illustration and share the Good News of salvation with everyone. We will remain humble as we are all sinners seeking the Lord.

Prayer
Dear Lord, Please forgive us when we unintentionally think more highly of ourselves. We desire to remain humble as we share the Good News with our world. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
