Suggested Readings: Luke 11: 29-32 (Taken From The American Standard Bible)
Luke – Chapter 11
29 And when the multitudes were gathering together unto him, he began to say, This generation is an evil generation: it seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of Jonah. 30 For even as Jonah became a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. 31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here. 32 The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.

“Heavenly Father, I worship You and praise You for You are my Lord and the King of my life. Lord, You are almighty and all-knowing; therefore you can see the end from the beginning. I know You can see what is my past and my future. I pray to You that You will make me Your instrument to accomplish Your work on earth. I do not want to live in my comfort zone, lift me up to see things from Your perspective. Help me to rise above my limitations by the power of Your Holy Spirit.”
Today’s suggested penance: Sacrifice some ordinary comfort or convenience today.
